Goldfinger Tavern, Newburgh Place, Highworth
A typical estate pub of the 1960's, with a flat roof. It is surrounded by the Home Farm and Windrush estates, in the west of Highworth. It has had a chequered history, with at times a rapid turnover of managers. For some years it has been owned by the Greene King brewery of Sudbury, Suffolk, which hopefully has brought some stability. It recently underwent a makeover.
