Subject: RE: Folklore: Odd pub names
In Halifax there is an old pub called The Old Cock, it is where in the back room, the Halifax Building Society was formed. When the brewers Marstons bought it they renamed it ' Ye Olde Cocke ' what the feck does that mean ? Thankfully now it's original name has been restored.
