last updated 18/09/2017The Cock was reputedly demolished to make way for the nearby airfield (RAF Stradishall) which was built from 1935 onwards and was one of the first pre-war airfields to have concrete runways. However, the pub is still shown on OS maps at least as late as 1958, so this may not be correct (or perhaps it was left on the maps to conceal the existence of the airfield?)
The pub can be seen here on an old OS map from about the end of the 19th century larger map
As can be seen here, it was still visible on the 1958 map.
