swanbank 

is another name for a place unworthy of living.
Basically a shit hole.

'That estate is a proper swanbank'
'yo' telling me bitch'.

swainbank 

A swainbank is a widely recognised standard weight around the cumbrian area (especially keswick)

It amounts to approximately 10 stone wet through. A swainbank may be used in multiples and with additional fractions of a swainbank to give accurate measurement.

I can lift one an a half swainbanks with my right arm, maybe two on a good day.

My cow weighs seven swainbanks, unless its just been milked then itl be half a swainbank less.
