YORKSHIRE (SOUTH) - Doncaster, Plough National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors Part One 8 West Laith Gate, Doncaster, DN1 1SF Tel: 01302 738310 Draught Beer & Cider: Draught Bass, Acorn Barnsley Bitter Public Transport: Railway Station: Doncaster Listed Status: Not listed The ‘Little Plough’ is an unassuming two-roomed pub near the railway station with a very well-preserved 1934 interior – the result of alteration work by Hewitt’s of Grimsby (Doncaster’s biggest pub owners for many years, following their 1881 family takeover of the local Exchange Brewery). Their legacy here is a straightforward but pleasing little design of front bar, back lounge and side corridor. Except for the modern fireplaces in both rooms and missing panels from the screened serving hatch to the lounge, there is little to detract from the pub’s authentic Thirties character. (Original plans on display in the corridor help confirm this). Leaded glasswork, wall-coverings and fittings typical of the period are much in evidence, including fixed seating with bell-pushes in the lounge. The gents’ across the yard is very much in keeping too!. |
