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. **
