The Fighting Cocks, St. Albans, Hertfordshire, 1936 - A Glimpse into Centuries of British History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the timeless charm of "The Fighting Cocks" inn in St. Albans, Hertfordshire. With its foundations claimed to date back to the 8th century and earliest license records from 1756, this historic establishment has witnessed centuries of British history unfold within its walls. The image showcases an aged timber-framed building with a picturesque octagonal shape that exudes old-world charm. The rustic facade is adorned with traditional chimneys and a pub sign proudly displaying the name "Ye Olde Fighting Cocks". Surrounding the inn is a quaint picket fence, adding to the idyllic rural setting. In this snapshot from the 1930s, we see people going about their daily lives against this backdrop of historical significance. Both men and women are present outside the inn, giving us a glimpse into typical rural life during that era. As we delve deeper into this photograph's details, it becomes clear that it was part of a series titled "Old Inns - A Series of 40" published by W. D. & H. O. Wills in 1936 as cigarette cards—a popular collectible at the time. Through this evocative image captured by an unknown creator, we are transported back in time to experience both architectural beauty and regionalism intertwined with Britain's rich cultural heritage—
