In the 1851 census Joseph PLOWMAN is a Coal merchant and Publican on The
Bury. The name of the pub is not given. Just three years earlier in 1848
Joseph PLOWMAN is at the Half Moon on East St Helens Street (Kelly's Trade
directory), and again in the 1852 Slaters directory. *
Tens years before, in the 1861 census Joseph PLOWMAN was in the Market Place
and is recorded as a publican, the name of the pub is not recorded but this
is likely to be the Plough and Anchor. He is there with his family. *
Then, in 1871, Joseph PLOWMAN (senior) is a Publican at the 'Plough
and Anchor' on Market Place - he has been there from about 1854.
The Eagle Tavern is also on the Market Place. (and not to be confused with
the spread eagle on Northcourt road). In 1881 the landlord was Joseph
PLOWMAN (1812-1895), he was born in Abingdon, and was living with his wife
Lydia nee TOMKINS. Joseph was also trading as a coal merchant. Joseph
was the father of the Joseph PLOWMAN landlord of the
Anchor. *
