Swan Tavern, 13 Bethnal Green Road, Shoreditch

In the 1871 census, the address is at 21 Sclater Street, It was certainly in existence by 1872 as it is marked on the OS 1:2500 of that year. At that time it stood on the junction of Sclater Street with York Street, but both these streets have been re-named: the western part of Sclater Street became part of Bethnal Green Road when that road was re-routed probably about 1880. York Street was also re-named Ebor Street at about the same time so the pub, which of course closed by 1983, is now at the junction of Bethnal Green Road and York Street  ***
