The Swan

Thanks to Beth for the following: The Swan stood on the corner of Humphrey Street/Lake Street, where a 2 storey block of flats is now. There was a picture of a swan on the window. The pub was licensed by Jack Collins and Lona Collins (nee Beardsmore). Lona has sadly died but Mr Collins lives in Turners Grove. I recall that Lona always kept her coat on! Barry Clarke tells us: My uncle, Fred Edwards also kept The Swan for a few years during the 1940's, before Jack (Collins). Alas, both my uncle Fred and his wife aunt Floss are both dead. Please help to fill this page with your memories of the pub, its licensees, and its regulars. Email us at admin@yampy.co.uk.
