Disgrifiad

This cockpit was originally constructed in the yard of the Hawk & Buckle Inn, Denbigh, Clwyd. Now painstakingly rebuilt and conserved at the Museum of Welsh Life, St Fagans, Cardiff.

Cockpits were once common and cockfighting was staged both indoors and outdoors. In Wales the outdoor pits were the most common form. Indoor pits similar in form to this one, were found at Wrexham and Welshpool.

Cockfighting was first outlawed in 1835, the last act being passed in 1952, which made it illegal.
