Plough & Fleece, Horningsea

A late 18th century or early 19th century building. The pub originally consisted of two (or three) rooms at the front. You entered by the now not-used front door which leads to a short quarry tiled passage with old dado panelling. Latch door on the right leads to the main quarry tiled room now used by diners. This former public bar, has a low heavily beamed roof and black-bricked, alcoved fireplace and an old fixed bench on the left. It is not obvious where the original bar counter was positioned - the present one is much further back and dates from 60s (??). The room is much larger than you expect an old pub room to be and you can see the quarry tiles on the far right are a different shade and the dado panelling is genuinely old on the left, but more modern on the right. My guess is the bar has been amalgamated with former private quarters. There is a snug, the second original pub room on the left of the passage from the front door. This has old dado panelling and a pot belly stove (and a staircase to private quarters) and the room is available for private parties, otherwise it is not now in use. A second bar, now the main bar, was added possibly in the 1970s? and has a brick bar and traditional bar back. This is situated in an extension to the original building and a further modern extension houses a dining room. Reassessed and removed from the inventory.
