History
The building has three floors, with a prominent window on the ground floor, and is lined with white stucco dating from the early nineteenth century [3] . At least until 1709, there was the Swan and Falcon Hotel, Swan and Falcon , and in 1774 it became known as the White Swan [1] . The hotel and its surroundings were rebuilt in 1839, as part of the reconstruction of Priori Street, which was reconstructed by the Monmouth architect George Woghan Maddox .
The hotel existed until the late 1950s, and its leading symbol, the swan, was still used here until it was stolen several years ago.
