| Dr John Aldren in 1941 |
History
The Practice was founded by Dr John Aldren at
the very beginning of the NHS following his war
service on
HMS Firedrake.
He was later joined by Dr Mark Stanford, Dr
Griselda Goodden and Dr Valerie Peet. In those
days the Practice was in the basement and had
one part-time nurse for two days a week. All
prescriptions were written by hand and home
deliveries were a major part of the service. In
the early 1990s the Practice expanded and moved
upstairs to the three floors we know today.
It is thought that Queen Mary came to
tea at 111 Pembroke Road. This may have
been when she visited Bristol after the
blitz in 1940. If you have any
information about her visit please
contact the Practice as we would like to
know more.
