I.T.Jones Collection,
Col. 2nd Jul. 1982, Ref.L6-2
Letter dated 2/7/82 from Mr.W.Thompson, the landlord of the
Butcher's Arms, West Halton. He wrote that the building itself
is over 350 years old and has been a pub for well over 100 years
but he has no knowledge of what occurred prior to 40 years
previously. However he sent a photograph of the West Halton
Plough Jags outside Normanby Post Office dated 1898 which has
19 men in costume. He wrote that Plough Jaggers still go round
every Christmas period, entertaining in the pubs and clubs and
on the saturday they usually give a show in the main shopping
centre in Scunthorpe.
