The Old Swan is a historic public house in Gargrave, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.
The pub was built in either the 18th century, or the early 19th century. It was grade II listed in 1989.[1] In 2020, the landlord attempted to burn down the building, and had to be rescued from the roof of the building while it was in flames.[2][3] It was restored at a cost of £400,000 and reopened in 2022, under the ownership of the Stonegate Pub Company.[4]
The pub is rendered and has a concrete tile roof. It has three storeys and is three bays wide. The central doorway has engaged Doric columns carrying a hood. Above the doorway is a tall stair window, and the other windows are mullioned with two lights.[1]
