The Black Swan is a public house in the city centre of York, in England.
The building lies on Peasholme Green, on the site of an important Mediaeval house which had been occupied by various Lord Mayors of York and Members of Parliament.
Externally, the central section of the facade is timber-framed with a jettied first floor, dating from 1560.
[1][2][3] By the 1930s, the pub was owned by the Tadcaster Tower brewery, which undertook a major renovation intended to preserve the building's historical character.
[2] One tradition claims that the Black Swan is linked to St Cuthbert's Church by an underground passage.
