Used by GP Dr Dorrit Waterfield and dentist Reginald Warrener as surgeries in the 1930s – 1940s
Location in Hastings Road was unknown for many years.  Until 2021.

Roy Kenworthy identified it positively as 123-125 Hastings Road and has clear memories.
125, door to the left, was a private upstairs apartment.
123, door to the right, was the entrance to the surgery.  The front room was the waiting room.
(Yes, these numbers are back to front and defy the order of street numbers in Hastings Rd)
There were two rooms at the back – one for the doctor and one for the dentist.
On the front of the building was a cupboard/box where the chemist would leave medicines.

See  item 22 on this page for history of dental surgery in Hastings Rd.
