According to Kelly's 1955, there was a Dr Wilfred Brian Gough at 633 Shirley Road,Does anyone have any memories of a Dr Wifrid B Gough. Researching my wife's side of the family I have found a death cert. for her Paternal Grandmother who apparently passed away in what I assume would have been Dr Goughs surgery at 633 Shirley Road in Feb. 1954.
Are they still alive and retired? I think daughter of Dr Paul is practicing in NorthamptonshireThe Villa Doc's
Dr Massey Senior, and his two sons Dr Paul and Dr Michael.
Maybe better known as 'The Villa Doctors'?
Initially practised on the corner of Park Lane Aston......later moving to Church Lane, Handsworth. Pioneering the transition from single handed GP practises to the Family Medical Centres.
Gp's always used to know the 'family members', recognising you by sight and remembering your name........and everything about you!
Same doctor as we had way back to the 1940’s both father and son were great doctors ,thanks for sharing and reminding meMy Doctor was Chitnis Coleshill Road Castle Bromwich, back in the 60´s, remember his father, who probally was due to retire late 60´s, his son worked there and was a Police doctor as well, he was a very abrupt Doctor and not a lot of people used to like going to him but on the other hand he was also a very good doctor. His son is also a Doctor same practice. There first Surgery was a 3 bed room house over he road from Hunters Moon, then they moved up to a house facing Clock Garage and i think they have also got one in Castle Bromwich.
I rembember the first surgery (before mobiles) and if the surgery wanted to attract the Doctor when he was passsing (outside surgery hours) tgey used to put a coloured card in the window to ask him to pop in .
