Finchcock living museum of music

Another ICG challenge masterfully completed by WT. A long drive this time to just south of Tonbridge Wells to capture this sort of country house thing with some guitars and stuff in it. Naturally it was closed when I got there - so a 25 mile drive resulted in a couple of hasty captures and a 25 mile drive straight back again! Bugger.












































Peacock Court in Leeds

No need to say anything more! ICG at his cock busting best.




Cockin Lane Farm

A pinnacle of cocking excellence. We must know where this place is - let us know J J!


Boococks HQ

Their signs feature elsewhere already, but Jungle Jinge has sought out this headquarters of cocking for us, so her trouble taken deserves an entry in its own right. Thanks Jinge.

R. Woodcock


Cockers Sports

Found in The Rising Sun in Oakworth by ICG. Discount cock - what a bargain!


The actual fron entrance to Kellogg's in Manchester

Well done Il Cocko Grnade for going out of your way to catch this enormous cock.


Cockett's Hotel in Hawes

As proimised - the butchers brother and/or nephew and/or cousin or something.....



JW Cockett - butcher and baker of Hawes

I'll have to start a seperate page called "Butchers Called Cock" at this rate. A splendid example of local Cockettry in Hawes in the Yorkshire Dales. Captured during the Tordoff family holiday a few weeks ago. Look out for the hotel down the road called Cockett's as well - a littel in breeding or just local innovation in the provision of bread meat and hotels perhaps?





























Cockburn

Captured by WT on the main road into Bromley in Kent. A nasty littel place with a big traffic problem. Yuck.


Cocktail Marseille

If you don't want the Marseille Cocktail, you could have the Shrimpscocktail. Found by Il Cocko Grande after a frantic and largely fruitless week of cocking in Germany somewhere. Just shows that if you stick with it your cock will always come!

Courageous Cock


Cockshott Hill

This is near Reigate in Surrey and right next to Bell Street. Globetrotting Prof Nev getting a bit closer than home than is normal for his globe trotting lifestyle. Good Cocking Prof Nev!

Cockshott Lane Leeds

Il Cocko Grande has been touring the fleshpots of the North again in search of cock - and found some in LS12!

C*ock View Street

Another fine example of an aspiring cocking colleague sinking to petty vandalism in order to make themselves appear more prolific than they really are! Well spotted Tim.

Moorcock Avenue

Whichever local councillor drove through this ground breaking change of name should have received the highest of local government accolades. Well done for dedicating yourself to the cause of cock with such dedication and also for making sure the world remembers that streets not named cock will be driven from your local borough at all costs.

Acocks Green Birmingham

Captured in a bus shelter on Broad Street in Birmingham - an odd mixture of singular and plural


Are these like donkey rides?

Go on, I dare someone to ring it! Let us know what transpires........

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.
