PUB in Belle Green Lane

Part of an email I received from a Wiganworld member living in Canada.. Can anyone remember this pub the SWAN Or has any information.. Been checking and I cant find a pub in that location with that name??

"After WW1 my paternal Grandad kept a pub in Belle Green Lane and from what I can gather it was the closest to the mine and iron work at the top of B.G. lane. I think it was called the Swan but I'm not sure of that. My Grandad was Philip Nelson and so was my dad and eventually me!. At one time for several years there was 3 of us. My Grandad was Treasurer of Wigan British Legion for years. There was a big safe in the bedroom I used at his house full of Legion stuff. He started out as a blacksmith and served in the Royal Flying Corp. during WW1 He made all kinds of nick nacks out of shell cases and old bi-plane parts in his spare time in France. I have his dog tag. It was a disc of some composite material and had his name on one side and C of E on the reverse. Just enough to know who the body was and what to say as they buried you. I made another one out of a French coin. it was about the size of our quarter or a bit smaller that an old 2 shilling piece".

From Ince Directory 1925-26 in "Stuff".
KIRKLESS LANE - (Higher Ince.)
[227 BELLE GREEN LANE]

Furnace Inn; Philip Nelson, victualler

The 1921 census shows him living at 9-11 Kirkless Lane, Ince. Public house manager, employer John Sumner Ltd., Haigh Brewery.

As a young Bobby in Ince....the pub at the top of belle green lane was "The prince of Wales"

I remember the Prince of Wales on Belle Green Lane and I visited it not long before it was closed and pulled down, it was a nice little pub too, there was pub right at the top of Belle Green Lane and it is two houses now, 221 and 223 Belle Green Lane and when you look at the two houses you can tell that it was a pub, and it was just a little further up than the Prince of Wales, the Prince of Wales was on the corner of Prince Street and Belle Green Lane and the land it stood on is still derelict, the mysterious pub in question which must be the Swan pub is on the corner of Tank Street and Belle Green Lane and can be seen on this 1914 map LINK

Tommy, 1921 census shows Kirkless Lane as address and the Ince Directory on here shows Kirkless Lane the Furness Inn with the correct personage. So, not the Swan unless it was renamed or he moved.
