The Cock sign on Sutton High Street
The Cock sign on Sutton High Street, Grade II listed inn sign at Sutton High Street, England
The Cock sign stands at the intersection of Sutton High Street and Carshalton Road, functioning as both a road sign and street light.
Dating from 1907, the steel and wrought iron structure replaced the original wooden sign of The Cock Hotel, which operated from 1789 to 1914.
The fingerposts display directions to eight locations including Cheam, Worcester Park, Carshalton, Croydon, Banstead, Reigate, Mitcham, and London.
The 3-meter tall structure underwent restoration work in 2020 following its official Grade II listing recognition in 2018.
The sign marks the location formerly known as The Cock Hotel, once owned by boxer John Johnson and serving as both an inn and post office.
