The Swan Inn at Stone, Staffordshire
Image: © Roger D Kidd Taken: 3 Sep 2011
Built in 1771. Grade II listed. The building was originally warehouses servicing the Trent and Mersey Canal wharf. These were converted into the pub in the mid 19th century. At present it is a thriving real ale pub (usually a choice of nine; try Joule's "Old Priory" for starters). Food is limited to baps and real local pork pies. This is the last "free house" in the town. Don't get caught out at closing time - you may well not hear any "last orders" announcement.
