Edward Waugh Esq

Can't imagine anyone erecting a plaque to commemorate any of the shabby, vacuous attention seekers we currently call MPs. Edward Waugh Esquire was clearly a top bloke.

House name sign in Brightlingsea

It took a well tuned and keenly observant cocking eye to spot this one at the side of the main road into Brightlingsea.

Rosa Hancock

Another display in Colchester Castle Museum. Rosa thought she was simply telling her story for posterity - she could have barely imagined that such a public display of being called cock would lead to her appearance on our world renowned repository of cock.

Colchester's Natural History Museum

Some informative, cock-related exhibit signage from within Colchester's premiere cultural attraction.

Roadside cock advertising board

A fine example of what can be achieved with some spare hardboard and leftover emulsion paint. Intruigingly blank chalk board - what is it that this resident of Thorpe-le-Soken is trying to get you to buy on your way past?

Cockleberry Interchange

Near a McDonalds on the Swindon ring road somewhere - thank goodness I had a local co-pilot
with me or I could have still been lost in the sprawling outer reaches of Swindon to this day.

Cockram Court Swindon

Trainee cocking colleague co-pilot Nicki helped track these ones down near the railway station in Swindon - chasing down an earlier glimpse from the corner of an eye whilst travelling at great speed with a taxi driver trying his best to kill me.

Sponsors of the Duxford Museum

A whole series of generous Cocks' who choose to sponsor the various exhibits at The Imperial War Museum at Duxford near Stansted ariport. A proper day out with Concorde and fighter jets and tanks and everything!

See our cock in pets corner

On the A420 between Colchester and Stansted.

Theatre poster in Clacton on Sea

What could be more fun than a good old cock-er-nee knees up and singalong around the old joanna?

Oh, I don't know; how about rabies?

Main Gas Cock

Another entry from a mysterious secret location. We could tell you, but we would have to hunt you down and have you killed afterwards. Just leave it, its not worth it.........

Haycocks as far as the eye can see!

Haycocks Lane in West Mersea (a rich vein of cocking having been unexpectedly discovered this morning whilst on a family outing) which delighted the whole Tordoff clan when we meandered along it to find..
















..not only Haycocks House (suggesting that a Haycock might be a particular unkempt type of hay bail or something); but also....

















..Haycocks Cottage (that looked much more like a derelict garage to be honest) and..

...a rather mysterious piece of signage suggesting the existence of somewhere nearby called Haycocks Yard. Try as we might we could not find this place; however it is here for posterity. If any cocking colleagues find the actual place, then let us know; we should keep the record as complete as we can!

Cockfosters

All lines lead to Cockfosters - you wait for one Cockfosters to come along and then they all appear at one go! We need one from the front of a London bus next to complete the set. Cocking in London is pretty dull really - noone looks twice when you stop, apparently at random, to take photos of signs and such. It is assumed that you are a foreign tourist and therfore beneath contempt. There was one good reaction from someone whose path I blocked when capturing one of these - he was obviously late for work and called me all manner of unpleasant things. Set off earlier next time you gimp.

A house called cock

What better way to celebrate living in a village called cock (Cock Green in this case) than to choose to live in a house called cock as well. If only they had chosen to have a rusty metal cockerel attached to the sign as well, this would have been a perfect bit of cocking.

Cock Green near Braintree Essex

The life of a dedicated cock hunter throws up the most delightful surprises every so often - like this picturesque village that has more sign posts called cock than it has villagers. The parish council obviously have their priorities spot on - a genuine celebration of being called cock. Well done everyone who lives in Cock Green.

Bed and breakfast cock

Captured on the A420 near Great Coxwell. A rusty old cock that looks like something out of a Hammer Horror movie - beware those who enter this bed and breakfast; you will be awoken in the morning by a manky rusty cockerel!!!

Strangely creative Cock Lane sign......most intriguing

Someone is getting too clever for their own good here! Our most creative and thoughfully framed cock so far.

Cockshot Road

An entry from a new "cocking colleague" from the heart of the beautiful Malvern Hills. Proving that cock hunting is a sport for anyone!

Woolcocks Estate Agents

One of the major players in the Tasmanian estate agency business - and renowned for their proud displays of cocking!

Cockadilly

The look of pride on his face says it all. Cockadilly doesn't appear on any maps, so this one must have taken some real dedication to unearth - and he took his friend with him to take the picture.Apparantly someone had actually drawn a cock in the dirt on the sign - but not clear enough to get a picture of!

Fighting Cocks

Dentists Woodcock Lane

Woodcock Lane

John W Laycock Ltd Steel Stockholders

Fresh eggs from a cockerel; surely not?

On the road between Kirby Cross and Thorpe-le-Soken near Clacton. I may need to downgrade this to things nearly called cock - I think it might be a hen!

Cock and Pye Court

On North Hill in Colchester. This one was a lesson for even the most observant Cock collector - I had walked past this at least 30 times before I actually noticed it. Keep your eyes peeled and never assume you have captured them all!

Cockspur Street

Just off Trafalgar Square in London and recently the chosen site for a foiled car bombing!

I have helpfully provided a map in case anyone cannot locate this centre of cocking.
