The Shepherd's Rest, Foxhill, Swindon
Yet another victim of the crisis in the licensed trade, this once extremely popular pub has closed and the freehold is on the market. Efforts had been made to keep the place going as may be seen from the updated identifier on the front elevation, which must have been changed in the last year
Link The notice on the door states that anything of value has been removed from the premises. The weeds are starting to appear. My abiding personal memory of this pub dates from almost 40 years ago when, after a 12 hour shift working as a student in an abattoir, I would rejoin the land of the living over a few pints.
