Evidence

Undated

Closed Pubs: The Jack Hotel and Jack Tap were situated on Northbrook Street, Newbury. Street number 22 / HER 21–22 and PubWiki's 24 indexing refer to the same hotel site (now Marks & Spencer) — treat as one place, not three. No open or close year is given on that page.

1796

West Berkshire HER MWB19876 cites historical pub research indicating a hotel with this name in operation from 1796 (Berkshire directory) to 1931 (Kelly's directory). Treat 1796 as presence evidence (matches PubWiki), not a proven opening year.
