Swan, Newton Bromswold

Rebuilt in 1938 by Wells & Winch of Biggleswade of brick with render over the upper parts. The original three roomed interior is still clearly visible. From the car park you enter a small games room with Northamptonshire Skittles, original dado panelling, fireplace covered by central heating boiler, a couple of old benches but the small counter is modern – probably added in the 1990s to replace a hatch. A door leads into a small room in the corner of the building with what is probably the original counter with an old top but new panels added to the front in the 1990s, more original dado panelling, a 1930s (or 50s) brick fireplace, original fixed benches and original leaded windows. There is a wide gap to the main bar i.e. opened-up – this small room retains intact its original counter, the bar back lower section could be original but the top half is modern, original fixed benches, but has lost its fireplace. A new but small extension has been added to the front of this room accessed via a doorway and the original windows removed to leave gaps in the upper parts of the wall either side of the doorway. A small dining room has been brought into use in recent years which has a early twentieth century tiled and cast iron fireplace.
