The Swan History: We are attempting trying to trace the history of the Swan from opening to the present day – see http://www.theswanhanham.co.uk/history.htm
we would really appreciate any more details or corrections

G.Mo reveals his new find.

The ladies of Hanham are being asked to come to the Swan and be eliminated from Barrys quest to find the owner of a black La senza bra found in the ladies toilets on the Sunday morning after the Honeybelle show
Any ugly sisters need not come!

Normally people make New Year resolutions after the excesses of the festive season, so it seemed rather odd to capture on Knowlesy’s camera the unusual sight of Andy Rowe with a half pint of beer.
Fearful that this might start a trend amongst his hard core of thirst quenchers, Gerry can be seen in the background (in a blur of activity) desperately trying to make up for the potential loss in future takings!

Happy Birthday to Kieran who has reached the ripe old age of 21 (key of the door?)
To celebrate the occasion, members of the Swan Temperance Society chipped in and raised sufficient funds to pay for his return flight on Lewy’s stag do next year in Portugal.
By the time he comes back from that he’ll look more like 61!!

The Swan management has once again provided a festive box for regulars to leave Xmas cards for circulation.
Positioned  just underneath the latest pontoon results board on the bar.
No responsibility will be taken for lost postal orders or cash contained therein!!

City legends new and old and off and on the park, meet at the Swan as die hard Kieran meets Gerry Gow. “Does he know who I play for” Ingram was heard to say!!

It’s like Rik Waller being slimmer of the year, but bizarrely, after claiming the Red Fleece and the Coveted Swan Open Crib championship, Jon Short has now come into evens favourite for the annual award, after being 999/1 at the start of the year.
