Ye Olde Cock Inn

Ye Olde Cock Inn is a public house located on Wilmslow Road in Didsbury, Manchester. It was built in the late 18th century and has undergone alterations since then. The building features white-painted roughcast on brick and a green slate roof, with a long rectangular plan and back extensions.

It stands three storeys high and has a five-window facade. There are doorways at the left end and between the fourth and fifth windows; the left doorway has a pedimented doorcase, while the other features a simple flat-roofed porch supported by two columns. There is a two-storey canted bay window slightly off-center to the left, which has 20th-century four-light casements on the ground floor and three sashes on the first floor. A one-storey canted bay is located at the right end, with two 20th-century cross-window casements. The first-floor windows are all sashed, with glazing bars in the upper panes only, while the second-floor windows are shallow sashes with one tier of panes in each leaf. The building also has a moulded wooden gutter cornice and four ridge chimneys. The rear of the building, which is unrendered, features some sashed windows. The interior has been altered. Historically, this inn was built on the site of a 16th-century building known as The Cock.
