| The Black Swan was one of nine public houses which have operated in Trumpington in the last 500 years. This page is based on a presentation given by Peter Dawson at the meeting titled Along the High Street, 26 March 2009. The Black Swan appears in records dated 1686 and 1704 and was almost certainly on the High Street. |
