Swan and Talbot

Photograph at the Swan and Talbot blue plaque

Swan and Talbot. This important posting inn on the Great North Road had ample stabling in coaching days from whence departed the carriers to Leeds. There was a soldiers room under the eaves and a malt kiln in which they brewed their own beer. This inn was first licensed in 1678.
