Was so nice to see information about former tenants/owners, i.e. The Burt Family. My father was Ernest Russell Hockaday and was born in this pub to Hannah Hockaday, nee Burt, in 1906, to Charles Hockaday. TB was rife in Plymouth, after my father's parents, a brother and his sister contracted it, he had also developed it, and the Health Officer in Plymouth sent him to a fairly new TB Settlement in Cambridgeshire called Papworth Everard TB Settlement, started by Sir Pendrill Varier Jones, where he regained his health and spent the rest of his life there, marrying a local girl from Godmanchester in Huntingdon, and raising a family. *

He had a happy life there with the added security of work and housing. He trained as a builder and became the Foreman, helping to build the hospitals and housing at Papworth Everard, in Cambridgeshire. Having spent his early years by the sea, he always selected a holiday destination by the sea, and returned to visit relatives in Plymouth when he could. We still have family in Plymouth today. *
