I had 2 aunties who lived on Standon Road, Aunt Ethel who bought a pair of semii's who's roofs had been burned out and stood empty for years, she dids both up , lived in 1 and rented the other to Auntie Doris, who had a daughter Mary, who now lives in Scotland, Ethels surname was Wollen Doris was Franks. Ayone remember them

Both I suppose vital parts of wincobank at the time we are thinking of. I recall a few times when the waiting room was full to overflowing even standing room taken up fully. Dr Wynne would fly in the door and say those who havn't got a seat can go home and come back next day, however he never bothered to do a head count, as to how many he had seen, nice to go back to ones roots now and again, m

If my memory serves me well yes it did duribng the war 2nd w.w.that is was taken to the News Teatre by my Grandad showed cartoon followed by the Pathe news, we always went inthe balcony, snobs I guess ha ha!!

Yes indeed, he was a truly wonderful man,brought all 3 of my children into the world, and my grand-daughter sadly I only have a daughter still around. He smoked like a chimney always ask me for a cigggie when I had an appointment with him, A real old fashioned G.P. for children you could call him anytime day or night Peter James were his name and yes he related about southern Ireland often, sadly can't recall precise area, senior moments I'm afraid, wintertime there was that very aged gas fire in the waiting room, with a notice would 1st patient please light it and last turn it off, heady days. such doctors sadly are simply not around today .
