HISTORIC PLACES Argyle Inn This was formerly the "Plough and Harrow" built as a single-storey Inn by Samuel Arnold c. 1850-51.Samuel Arnold was brought to work at Camden Park by the Macarthurs in 1837. He arrived from Dorset with his wife and daughter. In 1841 he established a wheelwright business on the corner of Hill and Argyle Street, later building the "Plough and Harrow" opposite in Argyle Street. Tenure was given to John Galvin who later bought the "Camden Inn" from the Lakemans in 1855. The building's appearance has altered over the years but the old columns remaining along the footpath clearly indicate its early beginnings. It is still used for the purpose for which it was built. |
