Cock Tavern, 2 St Michael alley, St Michael Cornhill EC3
St Michael Cornhill index
In the 1770-1780
Masonic Lodges listing, the Cock and Lion, St Michaels alley, Cornhill
is the meeting place of a masonic Lodge, and apparently constituted in September
8th 1732
This pub was burnt down in a serious fire of 1748 – at the time it
was named the Cock & Lion, as it was in 1822 and 1833. ** In the 1843 and 1848 directory
it takes the name of the New York Tavern, and in the 1853 license transfer,
but it is the Williams Chop House in
1851 & 1861. Again in the 1862 license transfers it is named the New
York Coffee house, and reverts to the Cock Tavern by 1869.
