Josiah Cocking (1867-1960) was a published Newcastle poet, a coal miner and often wrote for local Socialist newspapers. Cocking was a member of the Australian Socialist League and advocate of industrial unionism and Industrial Workers of the World.
Born in South Australia of Cornish descent, poverty frequently surrounded the Cocking household. Three brothers settled in Wallsend in 1886, Josiah gained work in the mines outside the local area. By 1911 he built a house on Billygoat Hill and had five children. In 1914 the family moved near the steelworks.
The photographic collection contains some images of Wallsend, Plattsburg and Pit town, looking east from Billygoat Hill, steam engines and coal trucks. There are also photographs of steam and electric trams. There are also a number of photographs taken of friends and family members.
Part of this archive contains diaries and copies of his writings. Papers include his description of the Australian Socialist League in Wallsend (1893-1896), and his diary ceases and resumes in various years, however is a valuable source of historical information about Newcastle and the Hunter Region.

Famous old coaching Inn on the High Street, Stony Stratford. Supposedly the starting point for a cock and bull story, the Bull Hotel being a few yards along the road. This is not, sadly, true!
A cock and a bottle ... interesting association! A glass should be added, allowing the cock to drink some wine. Or the cock should be replaced by a stork :)
COCK by Mike Bartlett is a theatre production presented by Buds Theatre Company and directed by Rayann Condy. It had shown at Singapore DRAMA CENTRE, BLACK BOX at 10 -12 MAY 2012.
My team and I had involved creating the projections mapping visual effects for the transitions during the play. The concept for the visual was based on the idea that the set reflects the john’s mind, the protagonist of the play, in the style of wire frame, with waves signifying the passing of time and explodes and implodes representing sexual activity and so on. All the visual effects are done by using open source software called Processing.
