Closure is only known to the decade from the reviewed source. Display as 'closed in the 1960s', not 1960. Heritage Gateway separately records demolition of the buildings at this location in the 1960s for the Relief Road.

Closed Pubs - Lost Pubs in Newbury
Place-level redevelopment/demolition event. The HER says buildings at this location were demolished in the 1960s to make way for the Relief Road and links the site to the Axe & Compass record. Do not convert this to an exact demolition year.
