Mail coach on the High Street at Stony Stratford
A packed vintage four-horse mail coach on the High Street at Stony Stratford, Buckinghamshire. Due to the juxtaposition of two hotels in the centre of town, The Cock and The Bull (pictured), (both originally coaching inns on the main London to Chester and North Wales turnpike), it is claimed locally that the common phrase "a cock and bull story" originated here
