My brother lived in this first row (at the end) and the next big house was the Doctors residence. Dr Sproat – it used to cost us a shilling to go and see him. I remember him taking on a young man to follow him – Dr.Pollock a lovely Scot who was a stickler for the rules!! No pulling the wool over his eyes!! He was great.
