The Parkes Multibeam Pulsar Survey is a sensitive survey of a strip of the Galactic plane with | b | < 5° and 260° < l < 50° at 1374 MHz. Here we report the discovery of 120 new pulsars and subsequent timing observations, primarily using the 76‐m Lovell radio telescope at Jodrell Bank. The main features of the sample of 370 published pulsars discovered during the multibeam survey are described. Furthermore, we highlight two pulsars: PSR J1734−3333, a young pulsar with the second highest surface magnetic field strength among the known radio pulsars, B s = 5.4 × 10 13 G , and PSR J1830−1135, the second slowest radio pulsar known, with a 6‐s period.
