The pub is typical of its age, about 45 years old or thereabouts. Typically also, it is closed, empty and boarded up. It has had a chequered history in the last 4 years or so. It closed some time before 2009 then re-opened in March of that year http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/4239602.Queensfield_pub_reopens_in_Swindon_with_Easter_raffle/ Then it closed again in September 2011 http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/9257895.Last_orders_for_popular_publican/ It must have subsequently re-opened because in June 2013 it closed yet again http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/10460241.Upper_Stratton_local_closes_yet_again/?ref=ar The last mention so far is December 2013 when it appears that the pub will be demolished to make way for new housing http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/10903381.New_homes_may_be_built_on_site_of_pub/
