The Two Swans was situated at 22 Clarendon Street.

I own the property, which is on the corner of Clarendon Street and Orchard Street CB1 1JS. As far as I can tell from the deeds and conveyances, the pub (formerly a bakery) closed during World War 1 and the property was sold in November 1919 for £580, which was quite a lot in those days. Its purchaser was a man called Percy Wing, who ran it as a local grocery shop, although the small shop at the side, visible in your photograph, in Orchard Street, remained a separate off-licence until 1986.
