What would you do with this pub to make it even more of a success? The area The pub benefits from being one of two pubs found in an area of around 3,500 adults. The customer base is made up of local residents in a semi-rural village setting. The Plough is located in Freckleton village centre, a beautiful little village on the banks of the River Ribble estuary and at the end of the runway of BAE Systems where the Jaguar, Tornado and Eurofighter RAF fighters were developed and continue to return for service and repair. The A584 connects Preston and the M6 through Lytham, St Annes and on to Blackpool. There is a good bus service through the village and trains to the nearby Kirkham.
