Swanland House
About Swanland House
Swanland House, a fine example of Victorian architecture is now a listed building. It was originally built between 1860 and 1870 for Andrew Duncan, a Hull seed crushing merchant. Businessmen moved out of Hull to escape the unpleasant smells of tanneries, blubber yards, and bone mills. It was built on the site of an estate of about 8 acres known as Rock Lodge, which belonged to Charles Thompson, a retired merchant, and his daughter, Jane, a village schoolteacher. In the twentieth century the house was owned by George Jackson Bentham, son of William Jackson the well known Hull grocer. George added Bentham to his name because of his belief in Utilitarianism.
Swanland House was converted from a private dwelling into a residential care home around the year 1985. It went through a comprehensive extension and redevelopment in 2020, and was finally completed in 2023.
