Generating a dynamic map. This may take a few seconds or more, depending on the number of pubs in the town and the speed of your computer.
The boundary line (in blue) is an approximate representation of the boundary of Swilland which has been hand-copied from other maps and should not be taken as definitive.










On some slower computers (hand-helds, old machines, for example) displaying the maps may take a long time and even cause the computer to hang. If you have this problem, please click here
All information is presented here in good faith and believed to be correct at the time of writing.
The addresses of old pubs (numbers and sometimes even street names) may not always coincide with the building's current address (if it's still standing), as street names sometimes change, as do numbering schemes
