this one? Title: Re: The Eagle in Regent Street Post by: RobertT on Wednesday, January 8, 2020, 18:17:26 Looks like it would have been where Game is now situated on the corner with College St.
Title: Re: The Eagle in Regent Street Post by: Wobbly Bob on Wednesday, January 8, 2020, 18:26:43 That's fascinating.
Yeah, does look like around where Game is now. Swindon would have 380 pubs today if it was still one for 480 persons. :) Title: Re: The Eagle in Regent Street Post by: Ardiles on Wednesday, January 8, 2020, 18:28:39 https://www.flickr.com/photos/swindonlocal/4055294319

Swindon would have 380 pubs today if it was still one for 480 persons. :) I had to sign a legal doc on my house stating I wouldn't open it as a beer house.... in Victorian Swindon this was quite common so legal moves were put in place to prevent it happening. Today, though you can still find the odd shibeen in Swindon if you know where to look ;) Title: Re: The Eagle in Regent Street Post by: Tails on Wednesday, January 8, 2020, 18:37:15 Swindon looked way better in 1911 than it does now
