South Parade

Description: The south-side of Market Pace, from the direction of Leicester Street, on a busy market day. The building on the right was once the Swan Inn, the town's principal inn. It gained fame after drunken revelers painted it red, launching the phrase 'painting the town red'. At this time the upper rooms were owned by Adcock and Pacey's, the town's main brewers. And the shop fronts by gentlemen's outfitters, W Pearce & Co.
