I'm sure that you are right Reg. That building stuck in my mind. The last time I was along there two years ago on the bus I noticed this lovely looking Tudor style building and thought it must be a doctor's surgery. There isn't another building around this area like it.

#5. Jennyann I couldn't remember Tewkesbury road but it is the one on the corner of Aston Lane. Reg I didn't know it was a Doctors surgery though. Jean.

Neither did I Jennyanne you are correct although Reg got there first but mentioned Witton Rd and I wasn,t sure we were at the same place.Dek
 
Definitely the surgery on the corner of Aston Lane and Tewkesbury Road. In the distant past it was the surgery of Dr Laurie, who was my gran's doctor and kept her going through her asthma (in the days before Ventolin inhalers). Dr Laurie was a lovely man, always calm and courteous.

Sorry Jean I do apologise I only read the first part of your post.I posted the photo just for you Witton girls as well. Dek
 
I'm another Witton girl and my first Dr there was Dr Mehan, he was lovely, he went to Africa as a missionary Dr in the '40's. The next was Dr Holloway and after him in the late 1950's were two Dr's who had met and married at the QE. The lady doc was Dr Mcguiness, but I can't recall her husbands name. She saw me through my second pregnancy when we were back with my parents for a while, They looked after mom until she left Witton in 1982.
