The Winged Horse is a public house in Luncies Road in
the Barstable East area of Basildon. It was built on behalf of Basildon Development Corporation and opened in 1958 to
serve the then new Barstable 1A/1B/1C - 2A/2B/2C housing estates constructed either side of Luncies Road. This was in keeping
with the Corporation's 'Master Plan' to supplement each new significant housing development with neighbourhood shops, a community
centre and a public house. The public house, which included upstairs living accommodation for the publican, was
originally operated by brewers Taylor Walker who were then acquired by Ind Coope in 1959. A feature of its architecture is
its copper roof. |
