Ye Olde Fighting Cocks
Ye Olde Fighting Cocks is a public house in St Albans, Hertfordshire, which is one of several that lay claim to being the oldest in England. The pub is currently listed by the ''Guinness Book of Records'' as Britain's oldest pub.〔http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3096376/Animal-activists-PETA-demand-Britain-s-oldest-pub-change-Ye-Olde-Fighting-Cocks-Ye-Olde-Clever-Cocks-celebrate-intelligent-chickens.html〕 However, as the earliest date for which it can be proved to have been licensed is 1756 - and even that date is not certain - its claim to this record is somewhat uncertain. Others such as the Ye Olde Man & Scythe in Bolton, Greater Manchester and Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem in Nottingham may have better claims. Even in St Albans, The White Hart and the Fleur de Lys (currently called 'The Snug') have claims to have been trading as inns in the late medieval period.
==Architecture==
The main structure is free-standing and has an octagonal appearance, attributable to its original use as a pigeon house. It has been added to over the years but the original timber-framed structure is clearly visible. It was originally located close to St Albans Cathedral (when it was St Albans Abbey) and was moved to the present site sometime after the dissolution of the Abbey in 1539. Its foundations are claimed to be even older, dating from around 793 but again this is dubious. It is thought that there are tunnels running between the cathedral and the pub's beer cellars which were once used by monks.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=www.yeoldefightingcocks.com/about.htm )〕
As with many old buildings, the ceilings are quite low. An original bread-oven is next to one of the fireplaces. It has a large beer garden with different seating arrangements, as well as seats out the front.
