The Swan Hotel, Bradford-on-Avon

A former coaching inn, the Swan Hotel in Bradford-on-Avon has long been a favourite with travellers. The second half of the nineteenth century saw the demise of many coach companies but by the early 1900s a new clientele was appearing on the roads: cyclists and motorists, who came to discover the charms of the town and its surroundings. In 1912 members of a Motorcycle Club gathered there and had their picture taken before setting off.
