The Swan Hotel used to have very glamourous dinner and dances back then. The name Swan is made up from the roads from the hotel, Stapenhill, Winshill, Ashby and Newton. My dad used to ride his bike up and down the hill to Winshill all his working life and I remember climbing the hill if we missed the last bus home.
