Looks like Beer Shop Keeper to me...

Some of my farmer ancestors also kept pubs!

Yep it looks like the address is Plough beer Shop, and occupation looks like Farm Labourer and Beershop keeper.

Could it say Beehive Keeper??

Whatever it says, it is the same as the address

Plough ? ?The two words look the same as in the occupation column

Think it's definitely beer shop keeper.

One of my ancestors was an ag lab on a farm where the farm house seemed to be a local hostelry  :)

Thanks for the help everyone. I knew you would be able to help. I can now do some hunting into this as it makes a change from farm labourer and gardener which he is listed as on previous census returns.
many thanks
