Memories of Fox Hill

[smary 14]

Do you remember the ice cream sandwich Aggie used to sell - it was wafer with jam in it. Never seen them since - she used to stop right outside my house on Browning Drive.

Yes, they were a special treat weren't they. But when you bit into them the ice cream squirted out of the sides.

where was this ?

Yes; I recall her; although my GP was Jack Anderson, another wonderful character. Does anyone recall him? His surgery was at the junction of Wilcox Road - Halifax Road.

 

 

I am Dr Nicholls (or Dr Oates') Grandaughter. We (twins) spent most of our childhood at a weekend with my Nan either at her Surgery on Halifax / Browning road or over at Fox Hill Drive when she moved there. I remember always going out on visits with her in the car (my Uncle / her youngest son had persuaded her to buy a gold Ford Capri ) many times during the weekend and patients calling at the house night and day, She never refused to see anyone at the door or refuse a visit. You don't get that with GP's today.

 

She died after a short battle with Leukaemia in the Hallamshire in August 2005. This was very sad as it was only a month before she would have made it to 90. There is a memorial bench to her in the grounds of Whitely Hall Hotel which we used to visit frequently.

 

I thought she deserved an MBE for her dedication to Medicine and her passion for helping others even after she retired but it wasn't to be.

 

Nice to read people remember her. I am very proud of her.

thanks for sharing that....she was our family doctor when we lived on Foxhill in the 60's, what a wonderful woman she was ....I agree she should have recieved an MBE....her dedication to helping others was second to none, when we left Foxhill in early seventies and moved to Chapeltown, she still came out to visit ...wish there were more like her these days
