The White Swan, on North Lane, Aldershot, which was known affectionately as The Mucky/Dirty Duck, closed in 2012; having been a pub from around 1880 when it was run by Charles and Fanny Bignall.
In the 60’s, when Ernie ? was landlord, a Mr. Forman regularly played accordion at the pub. Jumping to the ’90s, on 4 September ’94 it was on the promo tour for Who Moved the Ground?‘s second single, “The Chase”/”What’s That”. A week later, on 11 September, Thieves of Dreams played there.
Planning permission was granted, in January 2013, for this English Heritage listed Grade II building, and it is now offices and flats.
