EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming photograph of the Cocked Hat pub in Woodford, Greater London, as it looked in the 1950s. The image, taken in 1957, captures the left facade of the pub in all its glory. The Cocked Hat, located at IG8 8LG, was once a beloved local watering hole that has since become a piece of history. At the time, the pub was under the management of the Charrington and Company Limited, a well-known name in the British pub industry. The Cocked Hat was part of the Harvester chain, which was operated by Mitchells & Butlers. The 1950s were a significant decade for the pub industry in the UK, with many establishments undergoing modernization and expansion. However, this photograph shows that the Cocked Hat retained its traditional character, with its red brick exterior, wooden sign, and inviting frontage. The pub's name, "Cocked Hat," is a nod to the historic significance of the area. Woodford was once home to the famous Cock and Hat Fair, which took place annually from the 16th to the 19th centuries. The fair was a popular gathering place for locals and travelers alike, and the name "Cocked Hat" was likely a reference to the traditional hat worn by fairgoers. Today, the Cocked Hat pub may no longer exist in its original form, but this photograph serves as a reminder of its rich history and the vibrant community it once served. Whether you're a local history buff or simply appreciate the charm of a bygone era, this image is sure to transport you back to a simpler time in Woodford, Greater London.
