The Cock and Pheasant

A lovely piece of Cock from near Macclesfiled - captured after a return trip by Il Cocko Grande, following some more photographic failures by him on an earlier trip. Useless bugger.

Whitaker's Cock o' The North

Welcome Welcome to Andy W our newest cocking colleague - he had to move house completely to find this entry - what a stout fellow he is! I cannot better his own comments which follow:

A very old beer mat from Whitakers brewery that was based in the centre of Halifax during my youth (this would be the mid-late 1960's) and they had an huge illuminated neon sign that flashed first the body, then the tail, then the head of a cockerel and then the whole thing all together. It was visible for miles in Halifax.

A great big flashing cock!

I know it has a beer stain on it, but then it is a beer mat.


Oh, and Fanny's Ale & Cider House is on Saltaire road in Shipley, West Yorkshire.
An old haunt of mine, I've had a lot of fun in Fanny's on many a night.

The Black Cock Inn

What a marvellous example from Ian B - I think The Black Cock Inn may be in Cockermouth (a flood of entries having arrived from our favourite haunt in the north west). I will resisit the temptation to make any poor and tasteless jokes about big black cocks.















Cockle Pippin

From Tim's local in Oakworth near Keighley. Beer flavoured with apples and cocks.

Yet another Cock and Bottle

In Bradford this time and submitted by Tim. They really know how to celebrate their cock-status up North; this magnificnet hostelry has one of those blue heritage sign jobs on it. How proud they are to be called cock!

The Cock and Bottle #2


The Cockney Pride

This is a fine example of a public house called cock - found when taking a quiet stroll down the promenade at Clacton in Essex - a good cocking colleague should always have a camera at the ready - you never know when the chance to capture a cock will crop up.










































The Game Cock


The Old Cock


Sexy super sexiest cocktail bars

Entries from Southsea, East Mersea, Dunoon, Ipswich, Glasgow, Hartley Whitney in Hampshire, Heathrow airport, Keighley, London, Ambleside, The Old Orleans in Birmingham, Sevenoaks and Colchester. The possibilities for capturing this particular type of cock must be almost limitless in these times of lengthened licensing hours.





















































































































































































































































































































































































































The Cock Inn

Near Fort Halstead in Kent - didn't pop in for a pint because it was closed. Among the best of the pubs called cock entries - simple and straight to the point.
