The 'Plough', Leigh, Surrey Traditional pantile and weatherboard construction, with clay tile roof. The pantiles would almost certainly have been manufactured locally, probably at Brockham.   They used to Have King and Barnes beers here, but this firm went out of business.  The beer here, however, is still very good and the pub can be highly recommended.
