Re: 62 Abbey Street

Been in the Docs surgery at 60 Abbey St this evening, I was looking around far more than usual for any giveaway signs, but apart from an old looking, rather ornate staircase ( ironwork with a wooden bannister that curves back on itself at the top landing) it's pretty much hidden behind panelling and woodchip.
I asked my nurse if she knew anything of the history of the building and she said straight away, no prompting " it's a protected building, used to be a pub, you can still tell from the cellar", I asked if she knew the name of the pub but she said not, although she did say that Dr Kapenda has some old documents relating to the building and she will ask him to look them out. She also said that the dividing wall between them and hairdressers next door is pretty much a partition affair. Seems like the trail isn't cold yet....
