Both the Clarence and St John's Tavern where Thwaites managed houses.
The manager of the Clarence, Noel was a part time stocktaker at Thwaites.
Bill and Milly Dean were the managers of the Tavern.
I was working for Thwaites at the time.
The Original St John's Tavern was next to St John's Church, corner of Victoria St and Ainsworth St.
The original Clarence pub was on Lord St opposite the old Market Square. circa Thwaites Arcade.

The Clarence was still open when I worked there Roy and that was after the fire, I worked at the Cav from around 74 to 77 and it was open all that time
