My friend John worked on the 1st floor of the building in 1985, the company he worked for was Trendsetters, they were a type setting company
Wasn’t the school dentist in Yarm Lane? Remember the dreaded gas mask.
I remember the School dentist on Norton Road at Victoria Tce. near to what was the old Grammar School.
Not sure what the dentist was called but I went to Fletchers. Think that was the name. I hated the gas mask. Always cried when it was over. Sandra Dover Rotherham formally of Thornaby

I was in that dentist a few weeks ago. Been using Simpsons for about 47 years I think.
Mr Simpson (& son/daughter?) when I went there, it’s on the corner of Yarm Lane & Shaftesbury St. I can remember the creaky front door, the reception hatch and nervous times in the waiting room on the ground floor where the bay window is, while the treatment rooms were in the more modern addition to the left. Think I just had a cold shudder 🙂
Yes.. Bowesfield lane will be just to the left…Google maps ref shows it and the fan is still in the middle of the window pane

The dentists were Waldie, Wiggin and Brown. I went there from the age of 2 in 1949 and even for a couple of years after I’d left home in 1964. Mr Wiggin had a black toy cat on the mantelpiece and if we made a noise he said it was the cat squeaking. The receptionist was Miss Osborne.
