Queensfield and its pub, Swindon
Sadly, the public house in the background is now closed, empty and boarded up. Queensfield itself is a typical 1960s residential development that normally would not generate much news. However, its geographical location is such that it provides an opportunity for 'rat-running' between areas to the west and the east, particularly at peak times. The local authority has introduced temporary bans on through traffic at peak hours, which inevitably pleased some and upset others. At present I'm not sure whether the ban is in place or not http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/10350038.Don_t_bring_back_Queensfield_traffic_ban__say_residents/

The Queensfield pub, Queensfield, Swindon
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/

The failed pub seen here two years ago Image has been demolished. No-one seems to have mourned its passing. The site will probably be used for new housing.
