What is recorded here

This blue commemorative plaque records: This house was once part of The Cock Public House - a well known coaching inn on the Great North Road. Bought by the Peppercorn family in 1845 and renamed 'The Manor House', the main buildings were demolished in the 1960s. Princess Victoria visited The Cock in the 1830s. Recorded plaque organisation: Eatons Community Association.
Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom was the long-reigning monarch from 1837 to 1901, whose era saw significant industrial, cultural, political, scientific, and military change within the British Empire. Her visit to The Cock in the 1830s highlights the establishment's historical importance as a well-known coaching inn on the Great North Road before it was renamed 'The Manor House'.
