Two Brewers |
The Two Brewers was an early Mortlake public house situated on the south side of the High Street at No. 52. The origin of the inn is not known but in 1786 it was owned by Eddie Land, and Peter Moff was the landlord. In 1854 the Royal Victoria Benefit Society was set up and held their meetings at the Two Brewers. By 1855 it was owned by Phillips and Wigan, the local brewery. By the end of the 19th century with the change in ownership of Mortlake Brewery, it had become a Watney's pub.
The 1901 Census describes Frederick Pugh as the landlord. He was from Doncaster and lived on the premises with his wife Mary, their daughter also called Mary and their son. A barman, George Morgan, was also resident on Census night.
The 1914 Valuation describes the building as being very old. There were two attics at the top of the building, two rooms on the first floor, with a bar, taproom, kitchen, scullery and wc on the ground floor. There was also an old wooden skittle alley at the rear of the building.
The Two Brewers public house closed in October 1961 and was demolished as part of the local council's road-widening scheme.
