David Hore told us: &#8220;How I remember Dr Dunn &amp; his surgery! His waiting room was a covered passageway leading from the main road. His partner was Dr Guy who was nicer than Dr. Dunn.&#8221; Norman Patton told us: &#8220;There was a long bench in the \u201cwaiting room\u201d along which the waiting patients would slide towards the reception area. It was very highly polished! Dr Guy had served in WWII as a Colonel.&#8221; Ray Brown added: &#8220;David is quite correct about the waiting room of the surgery, what he has omitted is that in times of heavy surgeries a form was put outside the passage way for the extra patients \u2013 yes in the FRESH AIR, even in inclement weather \u2013 I don\u2019t think anyone can say that the NHS goes that far these days.&#8221; <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Image\u00a0courtesy of the Pem Holliday Collection\u00a0and personal reminiscences from David Hore, Norman Patton, Ray Brown and Sally King.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n<p>A different view of Loftus this time, what was Dr Dunn\u2019s house and the small parade of shops.
