Ye Olde Fighting Cocks, Grade II listed pub in St Albans, England.
The Ye Olde Fighting Cocks occupies an octagonal building with low ceilings and timber-framed structure near St Albans Cathedral and Verulamium Park.
The establishment traces its origins to 793 AD when the structure served as a pigeon house for monks before becoming licensed as The Three Pigeons in 1756.
The pub received national recognition when it appeared in the ITV series Inspector Morse during the episode 'The Sins of the Fathers'.
Located at 16 Abbey Mill Lane, the pub maintains daily operations and serves traditional English dishes with seasonal ingredients from regional suppliers.
Tunnels beneath the building reportedly connect to St Albans Cathedral, suggesting a secret passage system used by medieval monks.
