First visited : circa 1992
The Ox and Plough is situated right on the edge of Littleborough at the busy junction of the A58 with Smithy Bridge Road . When the Civic Trust did the Littleborough Boundary walk it used to start and finish here.
The pub didn't take part in the Littleborough Quiz League but we did once have a fiixture against them on a Sunday. Someone couldn't make it so we roped in a regular from The Queen's called Gerald who embarrassed us by arguing so aggressively that the question had been imprecise when he flunked his individual round that they agreed to let him have it. We said nothing but never invited him again. The interior was non-descript.
The Ox and Plough must have been hit by the closure of much of the nearby Birch Hill Hospital over the last decade and changed hands on an almost weekly basis in 2003 but it survives still.
