Cock Lane

The ghost story of Scratching Fanny originated in Cock Lane in 1762. The apparition of Fanny made scratching noises and knocked on the walls to answer questions relating to her cause of death.



Ironically, it was also the only place where the city's prostitutes could live.

(no sign of any Fanny)


This is the second Cock Lane which I came across.



Yours truly in Aylesbury, 1988
