EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of the Cock Pub in Sutton, Surrey, taken in the late 18th century. The London to Brighton coach pulls to a halt in the quaint pub yard, a testament to the close connection between travel and hospitality in days gone by. Nestled in the picturesque English countryside, the Cock Pub stands proudly, its weathered facade a reminder of the rich history that lies within. The pub, which can be traced back to at least 1789, would have provided weary travellers with much-needed respite and sustenance during their long journey from London to Brighton. The scene is set against the backdrop of a beautiful rural landscape, with rolling hills and lush greenery stretching out in every direction. The pub yard, filled with carts and wagons, is bustling with activity as travellers disembark from the coach, eager to stretch their legs and enjoy a hearty meal and a refreshing drink. The Cock Pub, with its inviting sign and warm glow emanating from its windows, offers a welcome refuge from the elements and the rigours of the road. The pub's reputation for excellent food and drink would have been a beacon to travellers, who would have been grateful for a hot meal and a comfortable bed after a long day on the road. This evocative image transports us back to a time when travel was a more leisurely affair, and the simple pleasures of a country pub were a cherished part of the journey. The Cock Pub in Sutton, Surrey, remains a fascinating glimpse into the past, a reminder of the important role that pubs have played in the history of England and the lives of its people.
