 The building which is now The Plough was erected in the mid-1780s and was added on to the already existing row of cottages. It does not appear to have become an inn until the late 1780s, when Ann Sleightholme, widow, is listed as an 'ale house keeper'.
The Quarter Sessions Ale House Licences for 1822 to 1825 show Anthony Weetman as the Innkeeper at The Board, Fadmoor - the first time the Inn is named in the records, while the 1851 Census lists John Hugill as Innkeeper and farmer of 30 acres. In 1869, William Sigsworth is named as the Innkeeper at The Plough - the first reference to the new name. The hand-coloured photograph on the left shows a view of Fadmoor in 1909 with what was then Myers Webster's tailor's, draper's and grocer's shop. He was also the Innkeeper and his shop subsequently became an extension to The Plough, which is just off the left of the photograph. In October 1922, The Plough was sold to Scarborough and Whitby Breweries Limited, who sold it again in 1957. The present owners took over in 2001, since when The Plough has been extensively and sympathetically renovated. |
