The Georgian coaching-inn, the Swan Hotel, dominates the street. The clock tower was built in 1873 to replace a church on the site, which had itself been replaced by a new church in nearby Broad Street.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
When I was a little girl I lived with my grandparents Harry and May Wheeler owing to my mother being in hospital for 3 years. Every Easter and August they took me to The Magpie Hotel. My grandmother was May Reeve before her marriage, she was born in Wortwell in 1894. I also stayed with my aunty Elsie Snowling. Harleston and Wortwell will always be remebered as my happiest childhood memories.
