THE LOST HALLOW PUBS
In the 18th and 19th Centuries, there were inns at the northern end of Hallow Green which now no longer exist. The main pub was the Plough and this may be seen in the picture above. The Plough traded until the 1880s when it became a coffee tavern. To find out more about it and the other lost inns, please click here
