EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Ye Old Fighting Cocks, a historic pub nestled in the charming town of St Albans, Hertfordshire. The image showcases a view along the south-west side of this iconic establishment, revealing its unique octagonal timber framed structure. Adding to its character is a pent extension and an overhanging inn sign that proudly announces its name to passersby. In this snapshot from the 1920s, two women can be seen strolling along the adjacent footpath, providing a glimpse into daily life during that era. Their presence adds a touch of liveliness to an otherwise still scene. It's worth noting that since this photograph was taken, there have been some changes. The spelling of the pub's name has evolved to "Ye Olde Fighting Cocks" preserving its historical charm while embracing modern conventions. Additionally, this remarkable building is also known as The Olde Round House or Ye Old Round House - names that evoke images of times long gone by. Katherine MacFee skillfully captured not only the architectural beauty but also the ambiance surrounding Ye Old Fighting Cocks in her stunning composition. This print serves as both a testament to our rich history and an invitation for viewers to immerse themselves in the nostalgia and allure of days past.
