Family doctors of years gone by


Recommended Posts

Dr. Rouse on Taptonville Road - was a one-man band with that familiar old-style radiator in the waiting room.

 

Yes, we went to Dr Rouse, he saw me through all the usual childhood diseases - I seem to remember him dishing sweets out to cheer me up!!! .... then he retired and we were transferred to the surgery at Nethergreen

Spot on Carol. I became a patient of Dr.Forster at Nether Green but it was on my way to "the office" at High Storrs School so I didn't mind as I could get an 8.30am slot.

Chairboy,do you remember the S & E Co-op on the corner ar Nether Green? I worked there as a 14 year old,and moved to the new Fulwood store a couple of years later. A lot of water has gone under the bridge since those days,a hell of a lot. The war changed my life greatly.

Blitzer.

No sorry, I think Carol and I are talking late 70's. I know the Fulwood Co-op but can't place the one at Nether Green. At Nether Green, I recall The Stirrings restaurant, a bric-a-brac shop and eyes usually focussed on the Hangingwater lights! I'm very much post-war.

Late 70s would be about right......

 

We saw Dr Radley at Nethergreen - was it a double practice - Forster and Radley????

Absolutely, I'd forgotten Dr. Radley (cricket name as well) and I think she was my doctor. I think it was one of my colleague/friend who saw Forster.

Chairboy, yes I'm afraid I'm talking 1937/9, The last time I was in Nether Green must be at least 10 years ago. The old Co-op store was a restaurant,so your description of the old site tally's. On the diagonal corner was old folk's houses - I think I would qualify now!
