THIS PUB WAS THE WHITE SWAN HOTEL UP I THINK IT WAS ABOUT THE LATE SIXTYS
AND AS I SAID IT WAS THE ONLY WHITE SWAN PUB HOTEL ON VICTORIA RD WHEN THEY EXTENDED AND BUIT THE SUPER LOUNGE AND MADE IT LARGER
AND MADE IT PUSH INSIDE AND AN EXIT IN THE SIDE OF WHITEHEAD ROAD
WHEN IT WAS THE OLD SWAN IT LOOKED DRABB AND RUN DOWN AND AGE OLD LOOKING AND DIRTY LOOKING I CAN ASSURE YOU ;
YES THE PICTURE OF THE OLD SWANN HOTEL PUB DOES NOT RESEMBLE THE SWANN PUB AS YOU KNOW IT OF TODAY
BUT REST ASSURED ITS IS THE OLD SWANN PUB HOTEL TODAY AS I HAVE SAID WHEN THEY DONE THE WORK AND EXTENDED AND SMARTENED IT UP THEY DROPPED THE WORD OF HOTEL; OUT OF THE SWANN AND PUT A CRACKING SIGN OF THE SWANN ON A HIGH POST ;
AND THAT REVINED THE OLD SWANN HOTEL PUB ; I WOULD HAVE LIKED INFO; ON AS TO WHEN THAT THE ORINIONAL PUB ; [ NAMELY THE SWANN HOTEL PUB WAS ORINIONALY BUILT ; HAPPY EASTER GUYS
BEST WISHES Astonian;;

Hi Lyn, unfortunately, that too has now been demolished! I have sent a google image of the Aston Pride Community Health Centre that now resides on this spot.
Last year you were corresponding with a guest, Paul Hammond about his Great Aunt running both the White Swan & the Manor Tavern. So was my Aunt Bet!!!
I'm wondering if we are related and wish I knew how to get in touch to find out. Any advice?
