Timeline
Brunswick Arms is documented in 1854 with Thomas Groves. — PubWiki secondary transcription of a dated directory/census entry. Treat as evidence that the venue/address was operating or occupied in this year, not as an opening date.
probable evidence
PubWiki - Brunswick Arms
Later snapshot name is Castle Tavern. Match physical place first; preserve 1899 identity as Castle unless stronger evidence supports the Tavern suffix.
probable evidence
Recorded in PubWiki's Newbury 1911 census summary. Treat as a 1911 existence observation; do not infer an opening date.
probable evidence
Castle Tavern is listed in the Newbury 1960 Kelly's directory transcription.
Strong verification case. Historic England lists The Castle Public House at 25 Northbrook Street.
probable evidence
Castle Tavern is listed in the Newbury 1970 Kelly's directory transcription.
The building was listed on 2 September 1983 under the name The Castle Public House. (Useful 1980s identity/place evidence. A listing name is not by itself an exact licensing record.)
Historic England has an archive image of The Castle Public House dated 28 August 1999. (Strong late-1990s visual anchor.)
By 2005 the former Castle at 25 Northbrook Street was operating under the name Uncle Henry's Pub. (Oxford Archaeology records photographs taken in 2005 before the later fire and the HER identifies the renamed pub. Model Castle -> Uncle Henry's as sequential identities at one physical place.)
Building
Grade II listed former Castle Public House / Castle Tavern (brewery tap). Closed Pubs: subdivided — Northbrook frontage retail (Zales), rear became Captains Cabin then Uncle Henry's (closed after 2007 fire / Parkway). Pin from Historic England / OSM at No.25.
