This building in my town was the precursor to the NHS
October 1, 2024
Was grabbing a kebab in the building next door and thought I’d take a pic of this historic building next to it.
This was once home to the Medical Aid Society, which Aneurin Bevan took as the blueprint for the NHS.

I wouldn’t put my life in the hands of someone called Dr Efta Death.
I feel like more businesses should declare a love for their own products
Was it truly the best kebab, as advertised?
I learnt about Aneurin Bevan in my History A Level. Amazing guy.
Wow. Are you allowed to go into the actual room where they would take patients and hit them on the head with a hammer?
I thought it’s widely accepted that the NHS was based on the Cradle to the Grave system ran by the Great Western Railway based in Swindon.
I know exactly where that is…I drove past it today in fact. What an amazing piece of history.
I didn’t know anything at all about Nye Bevan until I saw the play, back in March. Incredible, and an incredible man to do what he did for us all by setting the NHS up
The hospital in my home town started life as a Workhouse
Why do kebab shops always look so bloody cheap. They should be forced to at least make their signs look a bit smarter in lovely little villages.
Did it have a 3 year waiting list to get in and see someone?
