A two-room corner pub with a large lively bar and a smaller, quieter lounge, both served by a central bar. The pub is reputed to be haunted. In the 19th century there were two pubs in Temple Cowley called the Swan. This one was built in 1854 and became the Original Swan in 1880 to avoid confusion with the other which was actually older and no longer exists. Always looks closed from the road, you have to go through the car park and in the back.
