Bank Parade

He began his working life in a chemist's shop but came to Burnley in 1879 as assistant in the practice of Dr. Briggs and Dr. Brown. 

He lived at 66/68 Bank Parade and practised medicine, midwifery and some surgery in a community where poor, insanitary housing and overcrowded conditions produced many of the ailments he treated.

The picture on the left shows the entrance to his surgery on Bank Parade.
