Unfortunately the building was demolished, but was situated just below
the "Old Oak."
Kentish Gazette 04 June 1839.
On Sunday evening a fire broke out in some of the out houses belonging
to the "Plough" public house, at "Sittingbourne." It appears that a man
named William Nell had been drinking there that evening, and had become
quite intoxicated. He left the house with a pipe in his mouth, and went
to a hog-pound in the yard, where he lay down and fell asleep. The
lighted pipe communicated with the straw in the pound, and about nine
o'clock the place was in flames. We regret to state that the man was
found dead from the effects of the fire. Part of a stable adjoining was
burnt to the ground, and had it not been for the prompt exertions of the
people near, four horses, which were in the stable at the time, must
have also perished.

Kentish Gazette, 20 August 1844.
SITTINGBOURNE. Aggravated Case ok Manslaughter.
On Saturday an inquest was held at the "Plough," before J. Hinde, Esq.,
coroner, on the body of an Italian, named Giuseppe
Bianchi, who met his death through being ridden over by a man named
Stephen Wood, by which he was thrown down, and
received a fracture of the skull. After hearing evidence to the above
effect the jury returned a verdict of "Manslaughter" against
Stephen Wood, who was at once committed to Maidstone gaol under the
coroner's warrant. Wood is a gipsey, and describes himself
to have come from Canterbury. It appears he was racing on the footpath
in a careless and furious manner with another man, and
rode off after the accident without offering the least assistance. He
was taken into custody next day on the road near Bapchild.
