This Pub is Closed Long Term

CLOSED on 5th August 2016. This pub is being incorporated into the new residential development above it and will be within a new entrance lobby. Various planning documents are available on the Westminster Council website. Reopening date unknown and it is not absolutely clear that the reopened site will be a pub by CAMRAs definition.

As at 2022-23 shadow licence held in name of TR Property Investment Trust PLC .

Previous pub description follows.

Named after the famous GWR railway and cable engineer (1816-1889), responsible for putting Swindon on the railway map and not yet 21 when he was appointed by Brunel to be in charge of all locomotive operations on the Great Western line. Although having a narrow frontage the pub interior is quite large but with little natural light. There is an unusual and noteworthy moulded plaster ceiling with Tudor-style roundels, and railway-themed prints. Despite extensive local footfall, this is a quiet pub and thus a useful hidey-hole. But note the limited opening-hours.

Historic Interest

Asset of Community Value

On the ground floor of a 1970s block of flats. It has a remarkable interior with a decorative arched plaster ceiling of timber appearance with panels in high relief featuring Tudor-style roundels; a raised area at the front of the bar has a narrow but similar arch; at lower level at the back is an intimate snug area; panelling all round with some fixed mirrors; the bar counter and canopy may also be original.

The pub is named after Daniel Gooch who was a railway engineer for the GWR. It’s presumably an interpretation of a railway shed.
