The Esquire House was an existing pub taken over by Wetherspoon.

The site of this Wetherspoon pub, at what is now 1487 Great Western Road, appears to have been unoccupied land until The Esquire House pub was built, c1962. Immediately opposite The Esquire House pub is the imposing former Ascot cinema. A listed building, the cinema made the almost inevitable transition into a bingo hall.
