The Swan Inn is located in Milton's Main Street, around one mile
to the east of Repton. An early publican here was John Gamble
who was documented in an 1846 trade directory as John Curzon
Gamble. Born around 1794, he kept the Swan Inn with his wife
Alice. The Swan Inn was advertised 'To Let' in 1855 and the new
tenant was James Smithard. His stay was brief and by 1861
Jonathan Glasby was mine host. Born around 1825 in the Yorkshire
village of Brantingham, he kept the Swan Inn with his wife
Harriet who hailed from Walton-on-Trent. The couple had earlier
lived at Burnaston where Jonathan Glasby worked as a farm
bailiff.
