Cock & Bottle

The name “Cock & Bottle” was once quite a common name for public houses and is believed to refer to the availability of liquor in draught or bottled form; the “cock” being the name for the tap in the front of a barrel. The actual date of building of The Cock & Bottle in Skipton is, as yet, unknown to us, although there has been a building on the site from the late 17th Century and it would certainly have been in existence at the time of the building of the Leeds – Liverpool Canal through Skipton. It is rumoured that a certain type of lady would entertain the navvies in the small rooms up in the gables seen at the front of the building. It has been observed that the rooms are not very high but, then again, if they were put to a certain use, would not have needed to be.
