Postcard photograph of Cocken Hall, September 1914. South East elevation of Cross Wing, Main Hall and Conservatory. The Cross Wing is of two stories with a tiled roof and three pairs of sash windows (six windows in total) in stone mullions. Each sash having a distinctive central octagonal pane flanked by half-octagonals with smaller panes above and below (13 panes in total). At the Main Hall end of the wing is a large rectangular brick chimney stack with three pots. At the gable end, over-looking the courtyard are two smaller pots (chimney stack not visible). The tips of two other chimney pots are visible. The view of the gable end of the Wing is obstructed by trees in leaf, and the visible elevation is covered with vegetation (ivy?). There is a glazed roof light set between stack and Main hall. Between the Cross Wing and Main Hall is a three story insert (entrance hall and staircase?) with decoratively glazed door and two sash windows, set at a higher level, glazed as the rest of the Wing. The single entrance door is flanked by two urns on cubic bases. The path running the length of the elevation is delineated by a low (wire?) fence. A moustachioed civilian is standing outside the entrance door wearing a soft hat, and waistcoat with watch chain. Four other male are civilians looking out of an open first floor window. The Main Hall is of three stories with a tiled roof. On the ground floor is a bay window with four visible windows. There are two windows on each of the other floors. All the glazing on this elevation of the Main Hall is of the distinctive octagonal pattern. The elevation, particularly the bay, is partially covered in vegetation. On the roof of the North-East side of the Main Hall is a brick stack with three chimney pots. Tow other groups of three pots are visible. The Conservatory is of one story with glazed ground floor, sloping (glazed?) roof and lantern above. In front of the house is a lawn. Tall trees in full leaf are visible behind the Conservatory.
