Elstow, The Swan Inn 1921

More about this scene
East of the church and the Moot Hall, a jettied timber-framed building of about 1500, standing in its green, is the main north-south village road, the High Street. Most of the village was owned by the Whitbread family, including these rows of 16th-century timber-framed cottages. Those on the left were sold to the Bedford Borough Council for £1 in 1974 and restored. The roughcast was stripped and the timbers exposed, and new housing was built behind in Bunyans Mead. The Swan is still an inn and virtually unchanged now.
