The Cock sign on Sutton High Street

The Cock sign on Sutton High Street is an early 20th-century lamp post and pub sign that was relocated and converted to a road sign around 1915. It is made of steel, cast iron, and wrought iron and stands just south of the intersection of the pedestrian Sutton High Street and the vehicular Carshalton Road.

The supporting cast iron lamp post features a tall, square base that is approximately 5 meters high, with panelled sides and a moulded cornice. The maker's mark 'Hart.Son.Peard & Company' is embossed on a plaque attached to the south face. The base of the column is facetted with chamfered corners and includes four bulls-eye circular mouldings facing north, east, south, and west.

Above the base is a decorative fluted column that rises about 3 meters high and supports four finger post road signs indicating the destinations: Cheam, Worcester Park, Carshalton, Croydon, Banstead, Reigate, Mitcham, and London. The metal signs are rectangular with triangular ends to show the direction of travel, featuring embossed letters painted black on a white background.

Above the road signs, a rectangular pub sign swings within a hinged metal frame, which is adorned with metal filigree on the sides and scroll-work at the top. Both faces of the pub sign display an image of a cockerel painted on a white background, with the word 'The' painted above it. At the top of the scroll-work, there is a centrally-mounted black-painted figurine of a cockerel.
