Now, this is a view of the Old Cock I have
never experienced, and it comes from another of Andy Robertson’s “essential
walks with a bit of history”.
Most people will catch a fleeting glance of
the pub as they whiz past on their way to or from Stretford, but Andy captured
this shot as he strayed from his walk around the Duke’s Canal, coming out on a
large expanse of grassland.
Alas, even if the Virus had not intervened
to close the pub and thwart Andy’s need for a rewarding pint on a hot April day,
he would still have been disappointed as it shut up shop some time ago.
Leaving Andy to retrace his steps and take
one last picture of the viaduct carrying the canal and Metro line.
