Swan Inn Horning 1940s

The Swan Inn at Horning pictured c1940s. The Swan was built in 1897, and replaced an earlier inn of the same name. The thatched part of the building is a 17th century cottage which was retained during construction. The original inn is said to have been built from stone and rubble reclaimed from the ruins of St. Benets Abbey and many fine stone carvings were reportedly found when it was demolished.

Another postcard of the Ferry Inn at Horning, this time c1905. A pleasure wherry can be seen heading upstream.
