It was at the junction with Rotherhithe Street from 1683 to 1813. I believe it was on the left i.e. where the car is parked on the driveway. This is based on a description I read - "on an island". Many years ago Swan Road forked around a building and even in the early 1960's an alley isolated a granary type building where the corner house is. Building on the right is Winchelsea House of the Swan Estate. Previously called 'Floating Dock' and the 'Two Knecked Swan' - both these names could be linked to an 'island'.
