Old Perry Street is now a quiet backwater, by-passed by the busy Perry Street (A222). Established in the 19th century, the Sydney Arms was previously known as The Swan, and in Pigot's Directory of 1832 known as the White Swan. It was renamed in the 1880s in honour of John Robert Townshend, 3rd Viscount Sydney.
