The Cock Public House and Hotel, Epping, c1920 (Image: Gary Stone)
The photograph of the brick-faced Cock Public House and Hotel, Epping, c1920 hides an earlier timber-framed structure dating from at least the 16th century.
Records show the pub holding a licence since 1552.
The building was converted into shops and offices in the mid-1980s.
