Craven House at Silver Street, Warminster, is reputed to have once been an inn and its name may have been The Black Duck. This could have occupied the south-facing part of the building (the frontage to Emwell Street). On this side there is still a large entrance with room for seats in the porch. A stream (now culverted over) ran through the garden here, continuing on along Emwell Street (or Back Street as it was formerly known), to join the River Were under the south side of George Street.
