    Alma Street, Six Ways, Aston

    I remember Doctor Humphries and a Doctor Mott, they shared a surgery in Gerrard Street, Lozells. Dr. Humphries was a balding short rotund man. I can also remember going to the surgery and sitting on the hard wooden chairs or bench waiting for your turn to see the Doctor.
