Atherstone is recorded as having 32 alehouses in 1720. Almost 290 years later it still has at least half that number, and The Old Swan is amongst the oldest. It dates from the early to the mid-16th century, and is generally regarded as being the best example of a timber framed building in Atherstone. It is on the corner of Long Street, Atherstone's main road, and Welcome Street. Image;Image
