‘templartyler’ ...Alan Evans here with memories of Dr J.C.Bose, senior partner with one of the first NHS medical practise in Birmingham . My father Richie Evans arrived in Bham 1945/46 having left the failing Tin Plate Industry in Llanelli.South Wales. Mother Gwyneth Evans arrived in Bham Dec 1946 and the family promptly had difficulty in finding permanent accomodation...I remember trudging through thick snowdrifts in the Winter of 1947...Italian POW’s clearing rubble in the Bull Ring etc.
Dr Bose interviewed Gwyneth...gave the job as Caretaker of the Surgery at 111 Great Barr St.B11.
Despite the advert stating “No Children”...she was offered the post.
This was one of the first GP Practice in Bham...Dr J.C. Bose. Dr H.V. Sankarayya and Dr N.Bamford had 3 Surgeries at that time.
111 Great Barr St / 724 Coventry Rd / Cherrywood Rd.
Brother Phillip Evans was born in 1953 whilst we were resident in Gt.Barr St…..Elaine & Alan Evans attended Ada Rd School.In the late 50’s we moved to 724 Coventry Rd & both attended Waverley Grammar School.
Dr Bose occasionally visited Gt Barr St...H.V Sankarayya & Dr Bamford were day to day consultants. I had the Sunday task of cleaning / dusting bottles of pills.
Dr Bose was a prominent member of the Indian Community/ Association in Bham
Dr Sankarayya was a stern,gruff but excellent GP.
Dr Bamford far more easy going,laid back GP.
Whilst resident at Coventry Rd we had an extra GP Dr B.N Mazumdar….the only Indian POW held in Colditz Castle during WWII, Birendra Nath Mazumdar, was shunned by his fellow inmates. To improve his odds of escaping, he staged a hunger strike to get transferred to an all-Indian camp. It worked & he escaped from the new camp & walked 900km to Switzerland & freedom .
On behalf of the Evans family...sincere thanks to Dr J.C.Bose for offering sanctuary & accomodation in 1947.

Thanks Lyn and others for this site Never thought there would be so much info on this amazing man. Lol just hit me, my moms uncle. Im an idiot sometimes.
i disagree you are not an idiot it shows you care...this is family history and in my opinion this site and its members go the extra mile to help each other when brick walls are hit...after many years of searching for photos of the street where i was born i found some about 10 years back and not ashamed to say they bought tears to my eyes...

MWS found the article from The Birmingham Gazette. When my grandfather was tragically
killed on new years eve..A photo of him and ky dad sitting on his knee.aged 5. The front page, really hit me, still does. Yet im grateful i saw it. It gave me alot of answers about my fathers tough childhood. Why he wanted the best for me, not that i agreed with everything.
Amazing really, thanks to all, Keith
