Formerly a late 18th century coaching and post inn. It was for a long time, along with the former Tontine (Stourport Inn), one of the two leading inns in the town. At one time election results were announced from the balcony, at the front, to the crowd below. Those days have long gone and the hotel had closed by the Autumn of 2007. Since when it has stayed shut, although part seems to be let out as accommodation, and the car park at the rear is available for parking by the public, at a fee. Update July 2017:- It re-opened as a pub and live music venue under the name of Worley's The Swan in December 2015. Image
