The Swan was situated on Cornwall Street, Devonport. This pub closed in 1997 and has now been converted to flats.
 
I used to drink here in the 1960-1970s. Many fine local independent ales attracted loads of customers as did the live blues bands on a Saturday night. If I recollect correctly our band played there a couple of times. A dear friend Sandie often got up and sang a few numbers with great gusto. My God she had a very loud voice which her other half Dave bravely bore.

I remember having a pint of ‘Christmas Pudding’ beer here around 1975. It was often referred to as ‘The Mucky Duck’ – it had a nice atmosphere and an individual feel about it.
