Plough Hotel
The Plough Hotel was on Lot 125, three lots from the corner of Leake and Market Streets in 1833. John (possibly Joseph) Cooper was the licensee until 1835, when he gave up the hotel trade to become a farmer on the Murray. It was succeeded on the same site by the Race Horse Inn, possibly in the same building.

This 1891 crop from a panorama shows the corner of Market and Leake Streets in the bottom righthand corner, i.e. Lot 127. The two-storey building, three to the left, is likely to be the Race Horse Inn, on Lot 125. In an 1899 panorama there is no building visible after the first two, so the Race Horse had been euthenised by then.
