Fascinating information about Lowry, UTV and the bizarre connection with Winchester. The Black Swan was demolished in 1934 and was more of a hotel than a pub. Sorry to be pedantic but it was the more upmarket George Hotel, on the opposite corner, which was demolished to make way for a Barclays Bank. However, Sherlock Holmes makes good use of the Black Swan, and there's now a posting about all three Holmes stories with a Winchester setting at 'Literary Winchester'.
