Harborne

[BARTLEY GREEN]

Free newspaper in Harborne back in 70s, what was it called? Iam looking for pictures printed in it showing a cowboy and Indian day out side Preedys in late 70s?

I seem to recall the ABC Weekly Advertiser but there may have been others.

Dr Crombie was our family doctor when I was born back in 1952. There was also Dr Green and an older doctor called Dr Gathergood, if I remember correctly.
From my recollection of those days you just turned up at the doctors if you were ill without making an appointment and and just joined the queue. You didn't have to wait long to be seen. I remember them making the odd house visit when called upon. What happened to those days? Or am I misremembering??

Not misremembering at all. He was ours, probably from before i was born in 1949. I can remember visiting the house to see the doctor, having travelled from Hagley Road (where we lived) on the Outer Circle bus to the Duke of York, then on return catch it in Harborne Park Road, having got there via Albert Walk. He also made house calls if my father or his sister were ill.
