The hanging pub sign shows a picture of a swan standing with its wings up. The swan on pub signs can be heraldic or related to birds of the area.

The Swan is mentioned in an account written in - Talke, Talke Pits and Butt Lane in 1912 - Whitehill Online.
"In Talke we have three public houses, The Swan, The Caldwell Arms and The Old Queens Head, I wouldn’t be surprised if these pubs were still here in a hundred years."

Walter Hulse is the landlord of The Swan.
William Wainwright, The Caldwell Arms.
William Kerry, The Old Queens Head.
The pubs, along with the 6 beer retailers should more than satisfy the thirsts of the local men, that’s what the vicar says anyway."
