1915/Mrs Annie Elizabeth Tillcock/Beer Retailer/../../Post Office Directory

On the 1910 listing Mrs. Annie Elizabeth Tillcock at 32 Gough Street was Richard Bernard Tillcock's mother. His [Richards] parents ran the Two Brewers for a very long time and Richard [or Dick as he was called, and his wife Florence] took it over from his father Edward. He was later, also, at the Two Blue Posts **
Opposite the Two Brewers the Sunday Graphic was printed so most of the people that used the pub were obviously locals, journalists and photographers and also post office workers from the Mount Pleasant Depot. **

My father, Clifford Fenn, was the husband of Eileen Vera Tillcock, the daughter of Richard Bernard Tillcock. She was born at 32 Gough Street. The other man behind the bar is Ronnie (Ronald Stanley Tillcock) son of Richard Bernard Tillcock, who was also born at 32 Gough Street;  and my Uncle Ronnie.  **

There are more Two Brewer group photographs, probably around 1948 here **
