Ernest William Swan (1883-1948), of Pele Tower, Corbridge, and later Newbrough Park, Hexham, a member of the shipbuilding Swan family on Tyneside. Swan served his apprenticeship on the Southern Railway at Eastleigh and subsequently worked for Armstrong Whitworth’s (which became Vickers Shipbuilding) in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. A significant collector of coins and naval medals from at least 1910, in later life he specialised in railway medals and a group of correspondence relating to this material, including the original invoice for Swan’s purchase of the Dendy Marshall collection of railway medals from Baldwin in December 1945 for £200, was sold by DNW in April 2014 and is now held in a private UK library. After Swan’s death the railway medal collection was continued by his son David (†January 1984), but was ultimately auctioned by Glendining’s on 17 April 1986
