I am assuming from the title of the postcard above, that the pub changed name at some time to the "Cock Horse." However, the inscription of the card could well be incorrect and the pub has always been known as the "Cock Horse." The postcard, date unknown, suggests that the incline for the Canterbury stage could well have needed one to make the incline, and what better place to stable the horse than the pub!

Local information required here, please.

 

Kent & Sussex Courier 09 December 1904.

ALTERATIONS TO A PUBLIC HOUSE.

The Bench were asked to approve of some alterations to the "Cock" Inn, Detling, which included two new entrances, and increased stabling accommodation. The magistrates having examined the plans approved of the alterations with the exception of the side entrance.
