Now purely residential, Swanson House has been, at various times, an inn, a post office, a bed and breakfast establishment and a restaurant. Probably built in the late 18th or early 19th century with later additions. Constructed of pebbledashed rubble stone under a Welsh slate roof. There is a carriage entrance to Swan Avenue on the left and a 19th century shopfront on the right. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1326986 Brough is a village in the Eden district of Cumbria, some 21 miles northeast of Kendal and about 30 miles west of Darlington. The village is on the A66 road, a key route across the Pennine Mountains via the Stainmore Pass. Brough is on the site of the Roman fort of Verterae and has the ruins of a Norman castle. The village has historically been divided into Market Brough, to the north, and Church Brough, to the south.
