The last remaining pub in Swindon Street, and located on the corner of Swindon Street and Brewery Street, by the roundabout. An Arkells house since the Swindon brewery bought it at long ago as 1862. It had started as a pub in 1840, but its owners, a banking firm from Faringdon, now in Oxfordshire, went bankrupt. The building was originally one of a pair of cottages. It stood next door to another pub called The Malt Shovel. That closed in 1907 and became a sweet shop. Later it was demolished to become part of the Fox Inn's car park. Image Image
