This badly weathered swan is above the arch between the former Marlow Institute on the right, and the former HQ of the 1st Buckinghamshire Rifle Volunteer Corps Image The swan is part of the hat badge of the old regiment, and is also prominent on Buckinghamshire’s flag, which was registered on May 20th 2011. However, its significance goes much further back than that, perhaps to the 12th century: http://britishcountyflags.wordpress.com/2013/04/26/buckinghamshire-flag/
