Three pubs at the junction of Newport Street and Devizes Road. On the far left is The Wheatsheaf Alehouse, opened in 1820. In the centre is The Royal Oak, also early 19th Century. Grade II listed - see https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1023508?section=official-list-entry. The building to the left of it is its associated restaurant, the Choptank, acquired in 2019. On the far right is The Plough, said to be the oldest pub in Swindon. According to the pub's website, the earliest deeds for the building date from 1836 when it was a cottage, but an offer for sale in 1866 described it as a parlour and taproom. For close up see Image
