The White Swan

The White Swan pub is in Hyde Street in Winchester. Although this is geographically probably the closest pub to my house I prefer to go to the King Alfred pub in Hyde. The pub has been in existence since 1784 and was referred to at some time in the past as The Mucky Duck.

  5. The White Swan is quite a popular name for pubs. Mucky Duck - not so appealing!

  6. Quite ironic reading these comments now that it has been officially renamed to Mucky Duck :)
