Hayward House, 6 Swindon Street, Highworth
The pink painted building is Hayward House, a Grade II listed building, dating from around the late 17th century/early 18th century. It has been in use as a bed and breakfast since 1983. This may not necessarily continue, as in March 2011 the property was up for sale.
It has an interesting history having originally been two houses. For some time up to about 1902, an outbuilding at the back was used as a pub or inn called The Three Cups. Then for about a quarter of a century this was used as a bakehouse. Afterwards, until 1969, the main building was a garage, and for some of the period, the outbuilding was used as a bicycle repair shop. Next the buildings were used to manufacture and sell sculptures. In the mid-1970's it reverted to a private house.

Inigo House, Highworth
An attractive Queen Anne house on the High Street. Obviously built at a time of prosperity in the town, and made largely of brick, despite good stone being locally available - another way of demonstrating ones wealth.

Tamarind (formerly The Fishes Inn), 10 Swindon Street, Highworth
A Grade II listed building, dating from the late 18th century, but altered over the years. For a very long period it was The Fishes Inn, a very well-known Highworth pub. Today it is Tamarind, an Indian Restaurant. It is a shame that Highworth has lost another of its pubs, but at least it has been retained for business use, rather than turned into a private house. That would have very likely been its fate, if it had been in one of the little towns or villages in the nearby parts of Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire.
Next door, on the right, is Body Graffix Tattoo Studio.
