I remember getting off a bus from Norton en route to a No1 bus stop. I got a bee sting on the bus. It was before the days of tubes of antihistamines. They managed to mix something up for me and applied it + plaster: great little shop. Still had old fashioned coloured bottles of wondrous things
My mother would always buy me either a green or red barley sugar stick when we called in here in the late 50’s/early 60’s; prescriptions courtesy of doctors Mooney or Marsh at Harland House Surgery! Happy memories.
Who remembers the chemists on Norton High Street?

Mr Lamb used to bring the prescription to the house for you. He was a lovely man.

There were two that I remember. Lamb’s and Jeavons. Maybe another?

In my case it was the wonderful Dr A C McDonald from the same surgery.

This chemist was always busy as it was just across the road from the doctors surgery.
