Summary

A group of people, possibly the proprietor and staff, pose at the door of the Plough and Harrow Hotel, the licensee at this time being William Blinman. It is a two storey building with three doorways onto the street and an upstairs balcony. This upstairs section was added in the eighteen seventies (see B 4180). There has been a hotel on this site since 1839, the first being known as the Cornwall Inn. In 1844 it was rebuilt and renamed the Plough and Harrow, then in 1926 there was another rebuild and a new name proposed, the Hotel Arcadia. However in 1927 this name was changed to the Hotel Richmond. A few upgrades later, it is still extant in 2010. (Information from J.L. Hoad, 'Hotels and publicans in South Australia', 1999.)
