Today, Stony Stratford is just one constituent part of Milton Keynes but it was once an important town in its own right, a coaching stop on Watling Street, later to become the A5. The legacy of this role is two coaching inns on the High Street, the Bull (seen here in the foreground), and a little further along the Cock. They were known for the tales that travellers would tell and, it is said, gave rise to the expression 'Cock and Bull story'.
