Black Swan Inn is one of ‘most haunted’ pubs in Yorkshire and is steeped in history as the building dates all the way back to the 15th century - the owner says that they get a lot of trade in October.

The Black Swan pub lies on Peasholme Green, on the site of a historically significant Medieval house which had been occupied by numerous Lord Mayors of York and Members of Parliament. The property was rebuilt in 1560 and merchant and politician Henry Thompson, from Kilham, made considerable changes, restructuring parts in brick, and altering the interior.

“We’ve got good beer, we’ve got all our own food, so people that might be sticking their head in to have a look will quite often end up staying for a few hours, maybe get something to eat and have a few drinks. “There’s always someone to talk to that will tell you stories about York, it’s a tiny little community within York. That is probably why it does so well.” Let’s delve into the pub’s history.
