funny how much we can learn if we research our own little neck of the woods...although born in scotland lawson tait practiced in birmingham all his working life saving many lives he also opened the birmingham hospital for women..on the 1871 census he was living and working at 317 burbury st with his mother...he moved a couple of times but this house is the only one still standing and still has the two pillars each side of the door as described in this newspaper article written in 1970..shame he did not get more recognition although having said that i think he may be remembered at the general hospital...will try and find out about that
