Does anyone have any information or pictures of the Plough Inn old Kingsbury Road, it supposedly shut before WW2.

It's on the 1938 map listed as the Plough Hotel, though the license was objected to in 1925 and the last mention in the newspapers appears to be in 1927 which suggests it closed 11th Match 1926.

My ancestors the Cater family lived at a Plough Inn Minworth around 1851, is it the same one? I must check it out later.

Edward Cater? Newspaper articles list him as the landlord of the Hare & Hounds, Minworth.

There is an article (which you've probably seen) reporting the death of Edward's wife, Ann, which mentions she was a friend of the Mary Ashford who was brutally murdered.

In the Warwickshire directories the 1850 Whites does not list a Plough in Minworth, and the beerhouses (which would only be listed by landlord) do not list a Cater. The 1868 Kellys listed William Cater as landlord of the Plough, and is also a carpenter. A John Cater and wife are listed also as living there. In 1880 John is still living in the village, but the Plough is run by Thomas Hanks
