Pub on Newport Street. According to the Whatpub website, an inn called The White Hart was on this site in 1739, renamed The Bull c.1782. It was rebuilt in 1876 and renamed the Railway Hotel in 1881 (reflecting its proximity to the Midland and South Western Junction Railway's Swindon Town Station). It was then renamed the Old Town Tavern in 1976 before being given its current name in 1992.
