When I was a youngster in the 1940s' My granny was a housekeeper for DR. Smyth at 93 Shankill Rd. Big old house with all coal gas lighting. When I was about 5 or 6 I used to go to Dr. Richie on the Shankill, I still remember the waiting room, no appointments them days, everyone coughing, sneezing wiping their noses on their sleeves. When you seen the doctor he usually had a cigarette hanging out the corner of his mouth. Good doctor though.
