Framed Print of Charlie the Swan, a regular visitor to The Rising Sun in Shoreham, Kent
Charlie the Swan, a regular visitor to The Rising Sun in Shoreham, Kent. After a fox killed his parents Charlie was looked after and fed by hand by local villagers. He was introduced to the River Darent but he enters the pub three times a day for a quick feed, sometimes by opening the door, other times by making so much noise outside that a customer opens it for him. Pictured is landlord Frank Coon.
