High Street, Stony Stratford
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'.

Cock & Bull story
Two famous coaching inns on Watling Street at Stony Stratford, The Cock http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/569802 and The Bull http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/569774 . Coach travellers brought great stories from further afield and the two inns vied with each other for which could produce the most outlandish tales - hence the saying "Cock and Bull story"
