Description

The Swan Inn is a building located on the north-east side of Market Place, originally numbered as Nos 5 and 5A. It dates back to the 18th century and features two storeys with an attic, comprising a total of five windows. The building has four dormers and is constructed of painted brick, topped with a tiled roof. There is a moulded wooden eaves cornice, and while the ground floor has modern shop fronts, the first floor of Nos 5A and 5 retains its original glazing bars.
