A farmhouse with a picket fence stands on a bend with a Morris outside. It is a typical building of the Cambridgeshire countryside, three rooms long with an entrance opposite the chimney stack. There is a plaque dated 1622 on the chimney-stack. Part of the roof is covered with corrugated iron - this was used when thatchers were difficult to find.

Old Weston & the Black Swan. My first memory of Old Weston was back in 1955 and actually when the picture of the Black Swan was taken. I was stationed at RAF Molesworth from March 1955 to March 1957. This was one of the first pubs I went to after arriving in England that year. I have since visited Old Weston in 1998, 2000, 2003, 2005 and have visited Old Weston on every trip. The pub is now called The Swan. Lots of good memories from back then and always enjoyed visiting the area.
