I have passed this place for years daily so imagine my excitement when I saw that I could get in :)

Unfortunately, the inside has definitely seen better days and is all fire and water damaged now. Still managed to spend a good one and a half hours. Apologies for the pics but it was pitch black inside and the weather was rather bad so there as a waterfall coming in from the roof.

History: The Plough on the Prestwich-Salford border can be traced back to 1794 when three cottages were built on Rainsough Brow. The Plough Inn beerhouse in two of the cottages, named after the farmland that surrounded the area, opened in 1883, and beer was first supplied by the Bentley Brewery of Prestwich

The Plough passed to the Manchester Brewery Company (as above) of the Britannia Brewery in Ardwick in 1909, then Walker & Homfrays of Salford and on to Wilsons of Newton Heath in 1949.

In the '50s, Betty the big-handed bar maid was able to hold nine half pint glasses in one hand and pull beer into them with the other. By 1965 the third cottage had been incorporated into the Plough, and the beer was kept in a room behind the bar rather than a cellar.

The Plough closed in about 2011, and was placed up for auction, after the landlord was convicted of drug smuggling. The pub had a dodgy reputation towards the end despite being a Holt's house

and then the landlord got arrested for drug smuggling among many other things

I live round the corner from this pub, i remember it being renovated (not that long ago) it seemed to take for ages. Then when it opened it seemed to be closed within weeks, obviously if the landlord was put away then thats the reason why. but with the amount of money and time spent restoring the place its a shame they let it go to ruin like this. Another Salford pub lost to the wind, twats who run protection rackets back in the early 90s ruined it for the next generation.
