The former Swan Hotel in Bridge Street is now an Indian restaurant. The building is 17th century, timber framed and double jettied to the street, refronted in stucco in the 19th century. At some stage the building has been heightened. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net/reports/listedbuilding/FullReport?lang=&id=8960 Knighton is a somewhat remote market town gaining its charter in 1203. It is sited on the River Teme some 60 miles north of Cardiff. It lies on the Welsh/English border, with a small part in Shropshire, including its railway station. Originally an Anglo-Saxon settlement, Knighton is located on Offa's Dyke, the ancient earthwork that divided the two countries. It later became a Norman defensive border town.
