The White Swan Public House And Swan Cottage

The White Swan Public House and Swan Cottage is a public house with an attached house, located at Bridge End. The northern part of the building dates from the early 18th century, while the southern part is likely from the early 19th century but incorporates older materials. The northern end is rendered and whitewashed, with the street front made of squared stone, and the rear elevations constructed from rubble with cut dressings. The roofs are covered with graduated stone slates, featuring a white brick stack at the north end.

The northern front, which faces the bridge, includes a six-panel door set in a tooled stone surround, flanked by windows with renewed glazing. Above the right window is a painted sign board, and to the left is a four-pane sash window. The gable is coped on moulded kneelers, with a stack at the apex.

The street front is divided into two sections. The older left section is two storeys high with a basement and features two irregular bays. It has inserted doors and scattered openings, all in tooled stone surrounds. The right section is also two storeys with three irregular bays, including boarded double doors under an elliptical arch, two boarded doors, and scattered windows, with ridge and right end stacks. The windows consist of four-pane sashes or 20th-century casements.

On the river front, the older right part rises three storeys plus a basement and has three bays, with the left part set back. The right bays feature small basement windows and flat-faced cross windows above, with stone-surround windows on the first floor (one of which is blocked) and a five-light window at the top, where three lights are blocked and two have nine-pane Yorkshire sashes, possibly indicating a former weaving floor. The left part displays various sash windows on the top floor and small openings below.

The building's location and a large round arch, suggestive of a wheel housing revealed by a fall of masonry in the basement of the southern part, indicate that it may have originally served as a mill.
