On leaving Bridge House Farm, (the ancestral home since 1712) to get married 2 CONC , he took a farm "Hall o’the Heath" Haslington, where he had a family of ten children; four S 2 CONC ons and six daughters. He was a man of fine physique, six feet four and a half inches in heig 2 CONC ht. He attended the village church (C of E) Barthomley, where, in the grave-yard, the famil 2 CONC y tombstone of the Pedleys dates back to 1772. The church may be reckoned among the handsom 2 CONC e churches in Cheshire. My grandfather became troubled at the religious ignorance of the vill 2 CONC age peasantry and their neglected condition in those days. He started tract distributing an 2 CONC d preaching in the open air and the people gathered to hear him. After study of the New Testa 2 CONC ment, he came to the belief, held by Baptists, of confession of faith before baptism. At a vi 2 CONC llage, Wheelock Heath (about three miles away) there was a small Free Church building, erecte 2 CONC d in 1704, where Presbyterians and Congregationalists worshipped. Here the Rev. Matthew Henry 2 CONC , the well-known Biblical commentator, ordained the first minister in 1706. In my grandfather 2 CONC ’s time it was used for preaching and worship on Sundays once a fortnight. By a friendly arra 2 CONC ngement a new Trust Deed was granted and a Baptist Church started in this old brick-walled bu 2 CONC ilding with thatched roof. Here my grandfather acted as a lay minister for forty one years, w 2 CONC here the villagers and farmers gathered for worship on Sunday mornings and late afternoons. H 2 CONC e held dedication services for infant children. For a time until a baptistry was built, he ba 2 CONC ptised believers in an adjacent mere known as Winterley Pool, earning the name of ‘Pedley th 2 CONC e Dipper" from his fellow farmers in the district., Later he became one of the first temperan 2 CONC ce advocates in the north of England, he was present when the first train passed through Crew 2 CONC e in 1840 and made a temperance speech there to a large assembly from a railway goods wagon 2 CONC . My grandmother though a busy dairy farmer’s wife and mother, gave him her loyal support. 2 CONT From the Baptist Times 18 November 1954 2 CONT 2 CONT 250th ANNIVERSARY OF WHEELOCK HEATH EAPTIST CHAPEL 2 CONT A framed document hangs in the vestry giving a list of ministers over a period of 200 years f 2 CONC rom 1704 to 1904. One of these, Richard Pedley, held the pastorate for 41 years, his son cont 2 CONC inued in the ministry for 25 years. He was the great-grandson of an earlier minister, Corneli 2 CONC us Gregory, who ministered for 28 years.

On leaving Bridge House Farm, (the ancestral home since 1712) to get married 2 CONC , he took a farm near "Hall-o-the-Heath" where he had a , 2 CONT family of ten children; four sons and six daughters. 2 CONT He was a man of fine physique, six feet four and a half inches in height. 2 CONT He attended the village church, Barthomley, where, in the grave-yard, the family tombstone o 2 CONC f the Pedleys dates back to1772. 2 CONT The church may be reckoned among the handsome churches in Cheshire, though not a large edific 2 CONC e. It is of several types of Gothic architecture. The chancel is the oldest part of it, proba 2 CONC bly erected about the reign of Edward I, 1300. On a corbel over the Crewe Chancel is the dat 2 CONC e 1589, when Elizabeth was queen. 2 CONT My grandfather became troubled at the religious ignorance of the village peasantry and thei 2 CONC r neglected condition in those days. He started tract dis­tributing and preaching in the ope 2 CONC n air, and the people gathered to hear him. After study of the New Testament, he came to th 2 CONC e belief, held by the Baptists, of confession of faith before baptism. 2 CONT At a village, Wheelock Heath (about three miles away) there was a small Free Church building 2 CONC , erected in 1704, where Presbyterians and Congregationalists worshipped. Here the Rev. Matth 2 CONC ew Henry, the well-known Biblical commentator, ordained the first Minister in 1706. 2 CONT At my grandfather's time it was used for preaching and worship on Sundays once a fortnight. B 2 CONC y a friendly arrangement a new Trust Deed was granted and a Baptist Church started in this ol 2 CONC d brick-walled building with thatched roof. 2 CONT Here my grandfather acted as lay minister for forty-one years, where the villagers and farmer 2 CONC s gathered for Worship on Sunday mornings and late afternoons. 2 CONT He held dedication services for infant children, for a time, until a Baptistery was built, an 2 CONC d he baptised believers in an adjacent small lake known as Winterley Pool, earning the name o 2 CONC f "Pedley the Dipper" from his fellow farmers in the district. 2 CONT Later, he became one of the first Temperance advocates in the North of England. My grandmothe 2 CONC r, though a busy dairy farmer's wife and mother, gave him her loyal support. 1 CHAN 2 DATE 15 Jul 2002 3 TIME 21:01:52 0 @I44@ INDI 1 NAME Sarah /Aston/ 2 SURN Aston 2 GIVN Sarah 1 SEX F 1 BIRT 2 DATE 1798 2 PLAC England 2 SOUR @S23@ 1 DEAT 2 DATE ABT. 1880 2 PLAC England 1 _UID 9FB59008BB0FD5119AC9D1C4C02BF72BA1CA 1 FAMS @F10@ 1 NOTE Of Brassey Green (source: copy of family tree from Gary Hnatowich,received August, 1998) 1 CHAN 2 DATE 26 Feb 2002 3 TIME 16:17:49 0 @I45@ INDI 1 NAME Thomas /Pedley/ 2 SURN Pedley 2 GIVN Thomas 1 SEX M 1 BIRT 2 DATE 1766 1 DEAT 2 DATE 25 Apr 1840 2 PLAC Bridge Farm, Crewe 1 BURI 2 PLAC Barthomley Churchyard 1 _UID A0B59008BB0FD5119AC9D1C4C02BF72BA2DA 1 FAMS @F19@ 1 FAMC @F20@ 1 NOTE BURIAL: Buried Barthomley Churchyard, gravestone with 4 generations 2 CONT 2 CONT MARRIAGE: The IGI Records suggest that Thomas lived at Hanley, Stafford, England 1 CHAN 2 DATE 6 Jul 2002 3 TIME 06:35:27 0 @I46@ INDI 1 NAME Hannah /Platt/ 2 SURN Platt 2 GIVN Hannah 1 SEX F 1 _UID A2B59008BB0FD5119AC9D1C4C02BF72BA4FA 1 FAMS @F19@ 1 NOTE Of Bradley Hall, Haskington (source: copy of family tree from GaryHnatowich, received Augus 2 CONC t, 1998) 1 CHAN 2 DATE 3 Mar 2001 3 TIME 05:57:53 0 @I47@ INDI 1 NAME Sarah Ann /Walley/ 2 SURN Walley 2 GIVN Sarah Ann 1 SEX F 1 BIRT 2 DATE 1848 2 PLAC Teleton, Cheshire, England 1 _UID A3B59008BB0FD5119AC9D1C4C02BF72BA50A 1 FAMS @F9@ 1 FAMC @F13@ 1 CENS 2 DATE 1881 2 PLAC Age33.

E. PEDLEY, M.R.C.S., etc. 2 CONT 2 CONT I AFTER LEAVING SCHOOL 1879. 2 CONT After passing the Preliminary Medical Examination of the Royal College of Surgeons at sixtee 2 CONC n years of age, I left Boarding School at Margate and was in my father's Dental Laboratory fo 2 CONC r three years and nine months. I then entered the Royal Dental Hospital and Charing Cross Hos 2 CONC pital and obtained my L.D.S. R.C.S. in 1885, qualifying as a Dental Surgeon. 2 CONT In order to be near Railway Approach, London Bridge, and to assist in my father's practice 2 CONC , I joined Guy's Hospital, working for him whenever I could. In October 1888, I obtained my M 2 CONC edical and Surgical qualifications, L.R.C.P., M.R.C.S. 2 CONT Earlier in that year my eldest sister, Mrs. Fenoulhet, returned from New Zealand, a widow, wi 2 CONC th three young children. I offered my parents to take the house next door, which was vacant 2 CONC , to provide a home for her so that she might be near her old home. On completing my examinat 2 CONC ions I started practice. My sister resided with me for some 2 CONT eighteen months; leaving me to live at Seaford in the year 1890 for the benefit of the sea ai 2 CONC r to her children and herself. My second sister, Sissie, then came to live with me, but owin 2 CONC g to attacks of asthma in the London fogs, she had to winter at Bournemouth with a relative. 2 CONT My mother's health, with her increasing years, was not good. Dr. Taylor, Physician of Guy's H 2 CONC ospital, on being consulted, advised residing out of London. Sutton was chosen, where my pare 2 CONC nts lived to ripe old age: my father to his eightieth year, and my mother to her ninetieth. 2 CONT As my practice was increasing, finding the house rather small, I purchased 18, Peckham Road 2 CONC , next door, on the other side of our old home. Previous to this, when I had reached the ag 2 CONC e of about 29 years, my thoughts turned to Medical Missionary work, in China. 2 CONT 2 CONT In several spare afternoons and evenings a week I took up post-graduate work in Medical and S 2 CONC urgical courses, and later offered my services to the Baptist Missionary Society. I was accep 2 CONC ted and designated for the city of Sian-fu, in the province of Shensi, but first to spend tw 2 CONC o years with my friend, Dr. T. C. Paterson, at his hospital at Tsing-chow-fu 2 CONT in Shantumg, for acquaintance with the medical work and study of the language. 2 CONT Owing to an unexpected outbreak of mental illness in three members of the family, I had reluc 2 CONC tantly to withdraw my offer and face home duties. To help my dear parents, my youngest brothe 2 CONC r resided with me After several illnesses, he recovered: qualified as a Dental surgeon, takin 2 CONC g L.D.S. of Edinburgh where, unable to go myself, I sent him with a friend. Happily he passed 2 CONC , and afterwards married and engaged in practice for some twenty years at Tunbridge Wells. 2 CONT My youngest sister did not recover, and my brother Stephen was never mentally strong again. 2 CONT When I reached the age of 35, my thoughts turned to marriage, and a short resume of my marrie 2 CONC d life to Miss Ada E. Wolsey I now record. 2 CONT II 2 CONT MARRIED LIFE 2 CONT On March lst, 1899, I was married; my income was about £1,000 a year. I was living and practi 2 CONC sing at 18, Peckham Road, Camberwell, in a large old-fashioned house of about seventeen rooms 2 CONC , five of which (one partly) were used for professional purposes. 2 CONT The house was comfortably furnished, and there was a pleasant garden at the back with lawn an 2 CONC d summer house. It lay well back from the main road in front; with grass approaches, and shru 2 CONC bs on either side of the main pathway. 2 CONT We went for a month's honeymoon to Torquay and later in the year vie had a trip to Scotland f 2 CONC or three weeks. 2 CONT On January 1st, 1900, Eric was born. In the summer I sent his mother with him for two month 2 CONC s to Broadstairs. 2 CONT On January 7th, 1901, Victor was born. On the approach of summer I sent the two children, wit 2 CONC h their mother and nurse, to Crowborough for two or three months, I travelling to and fro mos 2 CONC t days of the week. 2 CONT The following year, 1902, I procured rooms at a small farmhouse near Dorking, where the mothe 2 CONC r and children, with nurse, stayed two or three months. 2 CONT The following year, 1903, I rented roams at a small farmhouse at Hunters Forstal, near the Re 2 CONC culvers, Herne Bay, where the two children stayed with their mother and Nurse. 2 CONT Clifford was born in July of that year and later formed one of the party with his mother an 2 CONC d nurse. 2 CONT I am mentioning these particulars as to summer changes as I found the winters told very badl 2 CONC y upon my wife's health; she suffering severe attacks of neuralgic headaches, following influ 2 CONC enza or catarrhal colds each winter. 2 CONT In 1904, I rented a furnished house at Westcott, near Dorking, where my wife, with the thre 2 CONC e children, stayed, I travelling to and fro from Camberwell. 2 CONT In January 1905, Cecil was born; for the health of their mother and the children, I rented an 2 CONC d furnished a seaside house at Whitstable, where they lived three or four months each summe 2 CONC r for four years. Gordon was born at Whitstable in 1906. 2 CONT With the five young boys and their mother not strong, I decided to get them out of London an 2 CONC d live in the country. 2 CONT During the spring and summer of 1907, at a cost of £1,000, I had the Camberwell house made in 2 CONC to flats (four), reserving one for the carrying on of the practice. By this I was able to ren 2 CONC t a house at Goddington Lane, Orpington, where we resided for six and a half years; giving u 2 CONC p the Whitstable house on entering our new home. 2 CONT The Railway service to Camberwell was not good under the old S. E. & London, Chatham & Dove 2 CONC r Railway, and involved some three hours a day travelling to and fro, with an extra walk of o 2 CONC ne mile from Orpington Station, often after a hard day's work. Here our two daughters, Doroth 2 CONC ea and Rachel, were born in 1907 and 1911. 2 CONT In the spring of 1914 we moved to Hayesford, Hayes Lane, Bromley: for the better facilities o 2 CONC f education, the boys going to the County School and later, to Dulwich College. Here we live 2 CONC d some eleven years. 2 CONT The house was an old farmhouse with a 1arge garden of some two acres, with orchard, kitchen a 2 CONC nd flower gardens, and tennis lawns. For country surroundings so near to London, the positio 2 CONC n was ideal. During the years 1912 and 1918, I gradually transferred my practice to the Wes 2 CONC t End, as Camber­well was changing so much from the residential to an industrial area. This e 2 CONC ntailed a great deal of strain and extra travelling. 2 CONT For the sacrifice of living out of London, I was rewarded in the better health of my wife an 2 CONC d in the children developing healthy and good physiques, though, through an attack of maligna 2 CONC nt endo-carditis, we were bereaved of our beloved little Rachel, in her tenth year. 2 CONT Eric joined me in the practice in 1923. Having purchased the necessary apparatus, I induced h 2 CONC im to take up Dental Radiography to occupy his time end gradually introduce him to my patient 2 CONC s. In October 1924, my health not being good, I consulted Dr. Young; Senior physician to Midd 2 CONC lesex Hospital. He warned me that I was over-working, that I should take more time off end li 2 CONC ve nearer to my practice. Acting partly on Dr. Young's advice, I found some benefit by sleepi 2 CONC ng several nights a week at Welbeck Street instead of travelling home to Bromley. 2 CONT In December 1924, I consulted Mr. Eric Pearce Gould, a Surgeon on the staff of Middlesex Hosp 2 CONC ital. As a result of this consultation he informed me, after expert chemical examination of m 2 CONC y blood, that I was on the edge of a precipice and that a surgical operation was desirable wi 2 CONC thout much delay. 2 CONT In February, 1925, I underwent a severe operation from which I made a good recovery, being aw 2 CONC ay from my practice for three months; my son, Eric, with the aid of' a qualified assistant, c 2 CONC arrying it on. 2 CONT It took another six months to complete restoration, though I was able to attend patients. A 2 CONC t the time none of the other boys were qualified, Victor passing his final L.D.S. later tha 2 CONC t year. 2 CONT In September 1925, we removed from Bromley to the north west to London Bushey, Herts., to sav 2 CONC e railway travelling, and to motor to and from 43, Welbeck Street. In the winter months, th 2 CONC e thirty miles motoring to and fro, in the foggy weather, I found rather trying and often sta 2 CONC yed in town. 2 CONT I was able to purchase the freehold of the Poplars, Clay Hill, Bushey, where we resided som 2 CONC e eight years. Here Clifford. Gordon and Cecil attended their London Hospitals until qualifie 2 CONC d, Cecil joining Middlesex Hospital Medical School in 1926. Dorothea also received additiona 2 CONC l education in cooking, dressmaking, piano, singing and organ tuition. 2 CONT I must here record the assistance given by my own family when the three children, Gordon, Dor 2 CONC othea and Rachel were very young. My mother received Clifford and Cecil for some six months a 2 CONC t Sutton; my sister. Nellie, with Miss Thomas's aid, gave them every care and attention. Her 2 CONC e they attended school for two terms; (the two elder boys I sent to boarding school at Whitst 2 CONC able, and afterwards, as weekly boarders to Eltham College) before our removal to Bromley, th 2 CONC us giving relief to their mother at a time when it was most needed. 2 CONT I am not unmindful of the attention given by Mrs. and Miss Wolsey, before or about that tim 2 CONC e when I took the Whitstable house, when my wife's headaches were very severe. 2 CONT In 1933, having reached the age of 70, and with all the boys qualified. I felt I ought to red 2 CONC uce my expenses and if possible, live nearer my practice. Not being able to sell the Poplars 2 CONC , I let it for three years. Elm Cottage, in Watford (four miles further out) was chosen, I de 2 CONC ciding to live several nights in town. 2 CONT Unfortunately, due to my past arduous life, with the extra travelling, I developed angina. I 2 CONC n May, 1934, after seeing a patient, I had a severe heart seizure a clot forming in my hear 2 CONC t muscle, and six weeks later one formed in my right lung from which I have made a partial re 2 CONC covery though my life was given up at the time. 2 CONT Thus, my active working days have ended, but not before four of the boys had qualified as Den 2 CONC tal Surgeons, the fifth as a Medical Practitioner, and my daughter happily married. 2 CONT After nearly fifty years of active practice, had I my time over again, I would endeavour to a 2 CONC ttend the meetings of the British Dental Association more. Unfortunately, practising in Sout 2 CONC h London for same eighteen years, and the full duties of family life, seemed to prevent my do 2 CONC ing so, though I have endeavoured to keep abreast of the times by reading and discussions wit 2 CONC h fellow practitioners, and since 1923 my sons, attending the Dental Hospitals have freshene 2 CONC d me up. 2 CONT III 2 CONT EXTRA RESPONSIBILITIES DURING MY MARRIED LIFE 2 CONT Added to my family affairs, I became Co­-Executor and Trustee to three estates: my dear fathe 2 CONC r's, my father-in-law's Mr. J. Wolsey -and my brother's, Dr. T. F. Pedley, Who died suddenl 2 CONC y in Rangoon. The latter did not entail much of my time as my brother-in-law, Mr. R. J. Wilki 2 CONC nson, was in Rangoon at the time of his decease and I had only the administrative part at hom 2 CONC e to do in relation to his daughter and two sons. 2 CONT . 2 CONT My father died in December 1909; I and my brothers, Richard and George, were the Trustees . T 2 CONC he latter died suddenly , in April, 1911, leaving his widow and four children with little pro 2 CONC vision for the future. 2 CONT Though not an Executor, I promised my brother George that I would do all I could to help, whe 2 CONC n he told me a few weeks before he died, how ill he was, and how small his finances were I wa 2 CONC s able, after considerable thought and much negotiation, with the consent of his widow, to bu 2 CONC y out of my brother's small estate, his partner, who, being somewhat involved, could not pro 2 CONC vide the necessary capita1 to purchase the goodwill etc. of the practice outright; nor repa 2 CONC y to my brother's estate what he already owed for the share he had but recently acquired. 2 CONT Then to install him as an assistant, with a salary equal to half the profits, giving him th 2 CONC e option of buying it within a certain period. My sister-in-law was to receive the other hal 2 CONC f of the profits, as well as the purchase money when paid. In return for doing all clerical w 2 CONC ork and attendance on patients, she and her family were to live in the house where the practi 2 CONC ce had been carried on. His solicitor drew up an agree­ment embodying these terms. Provisio 2 CONC n was thus made for herself and the children for some ten years or more. My brother Richard g 2 CONC enerously under took the school education of the only son, a boy of eleven. 2 CONT As regards my father's estate, he unfortunately, lent some £2,000 without security to a man w 2 CONC ho could never repay him. My brother Stephen, a seem-invalid, had a small annuity paid to hi 2 CONC m out of the estate, while provision had to be made far an invalid sister in a mental home, l 2 CONC eaving an income not sufficient to pay the annuity provided in the Will for my mother; also l 2 CONC eaving my two surviving sisters, who were the ultimate beneficiaries, without provision fro 2 CONC m the estate. 2 CONT To improve the income I took over the management of the house property, increasing the incom 2 CONC e by £60 to £70 per year. This I did for ten years. On my mother's death I handed it over t 2 CONC o a reliable agency. Here I must mention that my brother Richard not only visited his widowe 2 CONC d mother more than I could, but in the last few years of her life he generously helped her fi 2 CONC nancially, both of Which I was unable to do owing to distance and heavy family expenses. 2 CONT At my instigation a lawyer friend was consulted, who took Counsel's opinion on the Will. He f 2 CONC ound that the Will would allow capital out of the estate to be paid to the beneficiaries suff 2 CONC icient to meet their needs, they receiving it as part of their portion of the estate. 2 CONT Happily some book debts, and the winding up of a Building Society in which I acted as a Co-Di 2 CONC rector in place of my father, (involving my journeying to and from the Borough S .E., near Lo 2 CONC ndon Bridge, on many occasions) supplied the necessary funds. 2 CONT In 1913 my father-in-law died, leaving a small estate heavily mortgaged, and a Bank overdraf 2 CONC t of nearly £2,000 by his son, my Co-Executor, totalling in all about £11,500. 2 CONT Three months after Mr. J. Wolsey's decease, the heaviest mortgage of £5,000 on some Camberwel 2 CONC l and Peckham property, on being valued at £5,300, was threatened to foreclosure unless reduc 2 CONC ed by £l ,500. After considerable trouble and guarantees from myself and co-trustee of £500 e 2 CONC ach and a promise to pay off the rest out of income, this was agreed upon by the Solicitors t 2 CONC o the Mortgager. From this portion of the estate 2 CONT the widow and her daughter Florence received the income after paying mortgage interest and ot 2 CONC her charges. 2 CONT The London & County Bank Manager at Camberwell then pressed for the reduction of the Bank Loa 2 CONC ns, of over £6,000.This meant the disposal of some freehold ground rents, on property at Nunh 2 CONC ead valued at £4,600. I consulted my Architect and Surveyor. He examined the property and, fi 2 CONC nding it in a bad state of repair end held by several leaseholders, advised serving notices o 2 CONC f repairs, and offering the freeholds at the marketable value to them. 2 CONT This was done and a sum of £4,300 was realised which was paid to the Bank. I may say here, th 2 CONC at when I found the estate was so heavily mortgaged I declined to act as 2 CONT Trustee, but was persuaded to do so by my brother-­in-law promising to help me all he could 2 CONC . This promise was not fulfilled. 2 CONT Mrs. Wolsey died early in 1919 end her daughter Florence soon after. By careful management an 2 CONC d judicious selling of some of the property, all mortgages and loans were cleared off. My wif 2 CONC e now enjoys a good income from the remainder of the estate 2 CONT 2 CONT IV RELIGIOUS LIFE AND EXPERIENCE 2 CONT My grandfather, Richard Pedley, was a Cheshire farmer, born in 1800 in the village or Barthom 2 CONC ley, near Crewe. On leaving Bridge House Farm, (the ancestral home since 1712) to get married 2 CONC , he took a farm near "Hall-o-the-Heath" where he had a , 2 CONT family of ten children; four sons and six daughters. 2 CONT He was a man of fine physique, six feet four and a half inches in height. 2 CONT He attended the village church, Barthomley, where, in the grave-yard, the family tombstone o 2 CONC f the Pedleys dates back to1772. 2 CONT The church may be reckoned among the handsome churches in Cheshire, though not a large edific 2 CONC e. It is of several types of Gothic architecture. The chancel is the oldest part of it, proba 2 CONC bly erected about the reign of Edward I, 1300. On a corbel over the Crewe Chancel is the dat 2 CONC e 1589, when Elizabeth was queen. 2 CONT My grandfather became troubled at the religious ignorance of the village peasantry and thei 2 CONC r neglected condition in those days. He started tract dis­tributing and preaching in the ope 2 CONC n air, and the people gathered to hear him. After study of the New Testament, he came to th 2 CONC e belief, held by the Baptists, of confession of faith before baptism. 2 CONT At a village, Wheelock Heath (about three miles away) there was a small Free Church building 2 CONC , erected in 1704, where Presbyterians and Congregationalists worshipped. Here the Rev. Matth 2 CONC ew Henry, the well-known Biblical commentator, ordained the first Minister in 1706. 2 CONT At my grandfather's time it was used for preaching and worship on Sundays once a fortnight. B 2 CONC y a friendly arrangement a new Trust Deed was granted and a Baptist Church started in this ol 2 CONC d brick-walled building with thatched roof. 2 CONT Here my grandfather acted as lay minister for forty-one years, where the villagers and farmer 2 CONC s gathered for Worship on Sunday mornings and late afternoons. 2 CONT He held dedication services for infant children, for a time, until a Baptistery was built, an 2 CONC d he baptised believers in an adjacent small lake known as Winterley Pool, earning the name o 2 CONC f "Pedley the Dipper" from his fellow farmers in the district. 2 CONT Later, he became one of the first Temperance advocates in the North of England. My grandmothe 2 CONC r, though a busy dairy farmer's wife and mother, gave him her loyal support. 2 CONT Of his four sons, the eldest and youngest emigrated to Australia, while Richard, the second s 2 CONC on, with his father's aid, developed the business of a Cheese Factory in Crewe, of which tow 2 CONC n he became twice Mayor, engaging there in public ser­vice. He was a lay preacher and tempera 2 CONC nce advocate and was made a Justice of the Peace. 2 CONT The third son, George, (my father) was apprenticed at the age of thirteen to a Chemist in San 2 CONC dbach, a neighbouring town, for five years. He came to London at the age of nineteen, in 1849 2 CONC . 2 CONT Having received his early religious impressions in a godly home, on coming to London he thre 2 CONC w in his lot with Christian People, became a Bible Class teacher, Visitor of the Sick and a 2 CONC n active Temper­ance Worker. 2 CONT He had a situation as a Chemist's assistant in Fleet Street, close to Chancery Lane and old T 2 CONC emple Bar. He left this to start a small chemist's business in South London, (Southampton Str 2 CONC eet) where two of his sisters in turn kept house for him. 2 CONT At the age of twenty-three, he married my dear mother, the only daughter of Mrs. Franklin 2 CONC , a widow. His business developed but, being mechani­cal, he turned to study Dentistry for wh 2 CONC ich there was much need. A friend gave him instruction in Vulcanine work, which was supersedi 2 CONC ng carving dentures out of bone and ivory. Through the intro­duction or a Christian friend, h 2 CONC e took rooms in High Street, Borough, Near London Bridge; disposed of his Chemist business an 2 CONC d built up a large and lucrative Dental practice. 2 CONT My parents had a family of eleven children, six sons and five daughters. I was the fifth son 2 CONC . I owe much, if not all, to the godly influence or my dear parents. At the age or thirteen 2 CONC , I was sent to a private school in Margate, where I stayed until I was sixteen years old. 2 CONT At the age or fourteen, I had an experience which I cannot forget though fifty-eight years ag 2 CONC o. I became dissatisfied with my life. I felt I was not what I ought to be. I was not a Chris 2 CONC tian and I determined to change. I sought the Lord Jesus Christ with all my heart and strengt 2 CONC h, realising that He alone, through God, would help me. One evening, 2 CONT when I felt I must give up, a great illumination lighted up my whole being. I felt a great 2 CONT sense of peace and happiness never before experienced. The Lord Jesus Christ seemed to 2 CONT possess me. Three evidences I think prove that some transformation had happened to me: 2 CONT (1) I had to tell my school fellows. 2 CONT (2) My conscience was quickened: telling lies, bad temper and selfishness 2 CONT made me unhappy. 2 CONT (3) A new sense of values was gained: unselfishness, love and consideration 2 CONT for others. 2 CONT Looking back, I feel I have often failed. Like Peter, I have followed afar off, (Mark XIV, 54 2 CONC ) and have even been tempted to deny Him. 2 CONT Yet His attractive power, and His wonderful, loving look (Luke XXII, 51) have brought me back 2 CONC . Life's journey has been a perilous one, but He has been my Guide and Helper the whole of th 2 CONC e way so far. I vas baptised by immersion by the Rev. J. Drew, Baptist Minister at Margate, w 2 CONC hose church I joined, with my parents' consent, a few months later. 2 CONT On leaving school, in 1879, I became a Sunday school Teacher, a Temperance Worker amongst th 2 CONC e young (known as the Band of Hope) and later, Treasurer and Secretary of the same Sunday sch 2 CONC ool. 2 CONT About the year 1891 I was introduced by my sister, Nellie, to Dr. Dixon, the first Medical Mi 2 CONC ssionary in London, who was working, in connection with the late Mr. John Wilkinson, "The Mi 2 CONC ldmay Mission to the Jews". 2 CONT He told me that he was often badly in need of dental help in connection with his work. I offe 2 CONC red to go over one after­noon a week and see all the cases he could reserve for me: these wer 2 CONC e mostly cases of severe extractions. 2 CONT For some time I took my Nitrous Oxide Gas apparatus with me and, with Dr. Dixon's help, man 2 CONC y sufferers were relieved, using an ordinary arm-chair to operate in. 2 CONT The patients increased, and the work was so much appreciated that the supporters of the Missi 2 CONC on contributed to a dental outfit. Twenty to thirty patients would come in the afternoon; lit 2 CONC tle conservative work could be done. 2 CONT The patients, mostly poor Russian and German Jews, came asking to have the "steam", which the 2 CONC y termed Nitrous Oxide Gas. Later a small charge was made to those who could afford it. I spe 2 CONC nt several happy years in association with Dr. Dixon, and had reluctantly to relinquish the a 2 CONC ppoint­ment on account of the claim of my increasing practice and family, finding a successo 2 CONC r before doing so. 2 CONT In 1897 I transferred my membership to Denmark Place, the late Dr. Stanford' s church. Her 2 CONC e I spent several happy years, becoming Bible Class Teacher, Co-superintendent of the Young P 2 CONC eople's Institute, and a Deacon. 2 CONT On moving to Bromley, I joined the Congrega­tional Church under the ministry of the Rev. O. G 2 CONC . Whitfie1d, M. A., and was later elected a Deacon. Here I had many associations and friendsh 2 CONC ips and spent profitable years under the able ministry of its minister, with my family. 2 CONT On moving to Bushey, from time to time I preached at the Primitive Methodist churches on th 2 CONC e Watford circuit, which embraced the country districts around; also at the Baptist and Congr 2 CONC ega­tional churches in Leavesden and at Edgware. I have paid many visits to Cheshire and Shro 2 CONC pshire, taking the services at Waverton, Tarpor1ey, Beeston, Crewe, Haslington, and Wheeloc 2 CONC k Heath.In Shrop­shire, at Wem and Frekton; and later, at Peace­haven, in Sussex. 2 CONT Whi1e I have always attended the worship of the Free Churches and am a Baptist in my beliefs 2 CONC , I have enjoyed much of the ministry of Congrega­tionalists and Presbyterians, as well as Ba 2 CONC ptists. 2 CONT Any services I have rendered of an unselfish, self-sacrificing nature, have been prompted b 2 CONC y Him who came to minister, and not to be ministered to. 2 CONT My total abstinence principles, practised all my life (with residence at Margate for three ye 2 CONC ars) I believe strengthened my constitution. While recognising the great work of the Church o 2 CONC f England, and remembering what we owe to her in the past -the cathedrals as centres of study 2 CONC , art, and seclusion in cathedral towns, in our cities and smaller towns -in villages and ham 2 CONC lets, there is still too much class distinction between Church and Free Church. 2 CONT One rejoices in the strong Evangelical section of the Church, whose desire is to break down t 2 CONC hese barriers to unity. 2 CONT While I have not been able to accustom myself to the liturgical service, yet I have appreciat 2 CONC ed the dignity of worship practised by the Church of England; also by the Presby­terian and C 2 CONC ongregational Churches, which is absent in some of the Free Churches. 2 CONT To her authors, writers, published sermons, and addresses, I owe much teaching and freshnes 2 CONC s of thought, as well as spiritual upbuilding. 2 CONT END­ 2 CONT 2 CONT 2 CONT 2 CONT BIOGRAPHY: From Clifford Bio 2 CONT At the age of 35 my father Sam, George's fifth son, had a well-established dental practice i 2 CONC n his fine home at 18 Peckham Road, Camberwell, London, SE.

Now millions of people travel by air each year, al 2 CONC l over the globe. Man has also travelled in outer space and visited the moon a number of time 2 CONC s. Numerous man-made satellites circle our world, performing important functions. Unmanned sp 2 CONC acecraft visit other planets, reporting their findings by amazing means. Space laboratories h 2 CONC ave been established. Recently a craft carried men into outer space and returned to be used a 2 CONC gain with complete success. Today we live in the fast moving, instant-communication world o 2 CONC f advanced technology and scientific discovery. Now the marvels of the microchip are with u 2 CONC s to herald who knows-what wonders for the future. 2 CONT In 1846, 57 years before that first powered flight and my birth, a boy of 16 -my grandfather 2 CONC , George Pedley walked to London from the family farm in Cheshire. He was to found a line o 2 CONC f dental surgeons to the present fourth generation. The purpose of this article is to relat 2 CONC e the history and development of the science and art of dentistry as I know it from the recor 2 CONC d of my grandfather and his four dental surgeon sons, from whom came five more dental surgeo 2 CONC n sons, three of whom were my brothers; and my personal memories of 43 years of dental practi 2 CONC se in three countries. I was the third son of Samuel Edward Pedley, who was the seventh son o 2 CONC f George Pedley. 2 CONT It was the beginning of the Victorian era. At the end of that long walk from Cheshire in 184 2 CONC 6 my grandfather, George, apprenticed himself to a pharmacist in Fleet Street, London, just a 2 CONC bove Ludgate Circus. How well I remember as a very small boy, with my father at my side, tha 2 CONC t chemist shop viewed from the top of a horse bus, behind the coachman; the traditional displ 2 CONC ay of two very large bottles -one filled with red, the other with green fluid. In bold gilt l 2 CONC ettering on the glass door were the words CHEMIST AND DENTIST. After the 1914-18 War it disap 2 CONC peared to give place to a "modern building" occupied by the "Daily Express". At the time my g 2 CONC randfather served his pharmaceutical apprenticeship there were no qualifications or degrees i 2 CONC n dentistry. Anyone could practise; chemists rendered an emergency service. Dental conservati 2 CONC on became George Pedley's special interest. 2 CONT Before his twenty-first birthday, rooms were rented in Newington Causeway and "GEORGE PEDLE 2 CONC Y DENTIST" appeared in polished brass plate on the door. Soon this courageous step was follow 2 CONC ed by the renting of extensive premises at Railway Approach, London Bridge, where he practise 2 CONC d for the rest of his life. When he was 21 he had married Rachel Franklin, who was proud of h 2 CONC er descent from America's famous son, Benjamin Franklin. She was only four feet six inches ta 2 CONC ll and bore George 14 children, three of whom died in infancy. George Pedley died in his slee 2 CONC p in his 80th year, having attended patients only the day before. Rachel died 10 years late 2 CONC r in her 90th year. 2 CONT Five of George's six sons went to London University and all of them became doctors and/or den 2 CONC tists. My father, Sam, obtained the MRCS, LRCP, London qualification at Guy's Hospital and th 2 CONC e LDS, RCS, Eng. at Charing Cross Hospital. The Royal College of Surgeons had instituted thei 2 CONC r diploma in dentistry, which could be acquired at the Charing Cross Hospital. Two years' stu 2 CONC dy at Charing Cross were required of a man holding a medical qualification before, followin 2 CONC g examination, he cold be granted the dental diploma. 2 CONT Tom Pedley, the eldest son of George, obtained his MD at Charing Cross and was among the earl 2 CONC iest to obtain the RCS diploma in dentistry. Tom started his career as a ship's doctor on th 2 CONC e popular and busy P & 0 LINE of steamships plying to India. One day, when approaching the Po 2 CONC rt of Burma, Uncle Tom was stabbed in the neck by one of the passengers with delirium tremens 2 CONC . He recovered in hospital in Rangoon and stayed there to practise medicine for 44 years. H 2 CONC e became Colonel-in-Chief of the Indian Medical Corps and was awarded the Kaiser-I-Hind medal 2 CONC . In 1925, at age 73, he died while having an after-lunch nap on his surgery couch. When I ca 2 CONC me to Johannesburg in 1936, I was invited to call on a local medical practitioner, Dr Peacock 2 CONC . When he had satisfied himself that I was indeed a nephew of the late Colonel Tom Pedley, h 2 CONC e showed me a set of dental forceps Tom had given him when Dr Peacock served under him in th 2 CONC e I.M. Corps. I happened to know that this was a gesture my uncle liked to make to young MO' 2 CONC s who had pleased him. There were six or more forceps housed in a black leather folder. 2 CONT George's second son, Richard Denison Pedley, like my father qualified in medicine at Guy's an 2 CONC d dentistry at Charing Cross. He went on to obtain the FRCS of Edinburgh. 2 CONT At Guy's at the same time was Newland Pedley, a distant relative, who some years later founde 2 CONC d the Guy's Hospital Dental School and Hospital. Newland never married and left his substanti 2 CONC al Estate to Guy's. The Newland Pedley gold medal for operative dentistry is an award much va 2 CONC lued and sought after at Guy's. Professor Julius Staz, past Dean of the Oral and Dental Hospi 2 CONC tal of the University of the Witwatersrand and my contemporary, says that this award is one o 2 CONC f his most prized possessions. 2 CONT Denison Pedley joined his father George at Railway Approach, where he practised for the res 2 CONC t of his days. He died, aged 73, in 1931. In the 1890's he wrote a book which he illustrate 2 CONC d himself and which was published in England and America, titled THE HYGIENE OF THE MOUTH - 2 CONC A guide to the prevention and control of Dental Diseases. Full of wisdom and sound advice, th 2 CONC e book also exposed the appalling state of "the lower orders" of society of those days. I hav 2 CONC e donated a copy of the book to the Library of the University of the Witwatersrand's School o 2 CONC f Dentistry. 2 CONT After qualifying in medicine at Guy's, George's third son, also George, joined his brother To 2 CONC m in medical practice in Rangoon. Later he returned to obtain his LDS at Guy's and set up den 2 CONC tal practice in Winchester. He died aged 52. His son Kenneth's education was sponsored by Den 2 CONC ison Pedley, who sent him to Guy's, where he was my contemporary in studies, although not i 2 CONC n age. He had seen war service as a pilot in the RAF. I had been too young for military servi 2 CONC ce (I "did my bit" working on the land in Lincolnshire in my school holidays). I lost touch w 2 CONC ith Kenneth but, ten years later when I emigrated to South Africa in 1936, he took over my Lo 2 CONC ndon practice, dying in 1950 aged 58. 2 CONT At the age of 35 my father Sam, George's fifth son, had a well-established dental practice i 2 CONC n his fine home at 18 Peckham Road, Camberwell, London, SE. This was a fashionable neighbourh 2 CONC ood in those horse and carriage days. In 1898 Sam married Ada Wolsey, the lovely daughter o 2 CONC f the owner of an even finer house and garden -No. 15, immediately opposite. Ada, my mother 2 CONC , had been to finishing school in Belgium and on her return became one of the first student 2 CONC s of the now famous Camberwell Art School. Mother was an accomplished pianist and artist Sh 2 CONC e was also, through the example of her own gentle mother, well trained in the domestic arts 2 CONC . One day, on her way to Art School, her upper right central tooth became the victim of a st 2 CONC one thrown at random by a street urchin. This led to a professional visit, and later marriage 2 CONC , to my father. 2 CONT A posted crown was fitted which was still there when she died aged 87. The method used was: g 2 CONC old post; platinum foil overstamped; crown cast gold to platinum pin porcelain facing. 2 CONT At this time father had started a "West End" connection and was renting a suite of rooms on t 2 CONC he top floor of Regent House, then a new and imposing building in Regent Street near Oxford C 2 CONC ircus. 2 CONT The building -some five storeys high -was completely lit by electricity and had a manually op 2 CONC erated lift which could be seen going up and down in the well of the spiral staircase It carr 2 CONC ied three or four people, including the operator who was not always there Passing verticall 2 CONC y through the far right-hand corner of the lift was a steel cable. With gloved hand the opera 2 CONC tor pulled the cable, causing the lift to move, braking it to a standstill at the desired flo 2 CONC or. 2 CONT This was a delight to adventurous youth, but I have always suspected that this was the main r 2 CONC eason for my father's move to 43 Welbeck Street in 1917. 2 CONT Getting back to the Camberwell home and dental practice: By 1907 father had acquired five son 2 CONC s of his own. He let his house (eventually dividing it into flats) and moved us all out t 2 CONC o a two-acre property on top of a hill in the country, "The Maples", in Orpington, Kent There 2 CONC , by 1911, two daughters were added to the family. In top hat and tails (black in winter, gre 2 CONC y in summer) with umbrella on arm, father always walked the mile and a half downhill to the O 2 CONC rpington railway station but, coming home tired at night, he would take one of the hansom cab 2 CONC s that were always lined up for hire at the station entrance. 2 CONT 2 CONT On 1 April 1914 we moved to Bromley, Kent, only eight miles from London. There, in a large ma 2 CONC nor house on 5 acres of ground with surrounding farmlands, we lived for the next 11 years thr 2 CONC ough overflying Zeppelins and Gotha bombers of the great World War. I recall that that idylli 2 CONC c home, with its abundant orchards and kitchen garden, was leased to my father for £85 per an 2 CONC num. 2 CONT My eldest brother Eric, having qualified at the Royal Dental Hospital, joined father at 43 We 2 CONC lbeck Street in 1923. He set up as a dental radiologist and did well, since few dentists ha 2 CONC d acquired X-ray apparatus. In any case the machine was large and expensive and necessitate 2 CONC d installing a transformer which was both costly and noisy. A few more years had to pass befo 2 CONC re the West End's direct current electricity was changed to the now universally used alternat 2 CONC ing supply. 2 CONT Eric also performed a valuable service to my father as anaesthetist. It was at the end of ope 2 CONC rating for the removal of impacted teeth that Sam collapsed with a "stroke". Although he mad 2 CONC e a good recovery he did not practise again. He relapsed some 18 months later and died in 193 2 CONC 5 in his 73rd year. 2 CONT My career at one of England's famous public schools, Dulwich College, was undistinguished bu 2 CONC t enlivened by air raid warnings and bomb attacks. The bombs, which at first were hand-held a 2 CONC nd dropped over the sides of the planes, developed into huge lethal affairs, one of which, i 2 CONC n the dawn hours in May 1918, blew the imposing wrought-iron gates of the entrance to nearb 2 CONC y Dulwich Park sky-high, leaving a crater big enough (to me at the time) to bury a double sto 2 CONC rey bus. 2 CONT Armed with an honours certificate of the Royal College of Preceptors examining board (this wa 2 CONC s the initial requirement for medicine and dentistry in those days), I left Dulwich College t 2 CONC o join my father as a dental mechanic apprentice. 2 CONT This was the requirement of the Dental Board at that time. 1 was in fact one of the last trai 2 CONC ned under this regulation; thereafter, dental mechanics instruction became the prerogative o 2 CONC f the dental schools only. 2 CONT Of this period of introduction to my chosen profession I have many happy and interesting memo 2 CONC ries. The "war to end all wars" was over. Business was booming and the "newly rich" were als 2 CONC o around. Gold work in the laboratory abounded and Mr Tappin, a deaf-mute and unique personal 2 CONC ity, was an excellent teacher. I soon acquired skills in gold suaging, soldering and casting 2 CONC , although my artistic nature rebelled at the use of vulcanite (plastics were unknown) and fa 2 CONC lse-looking teeth made of opaque porcelain. 2 CONT One of my earliest laboratory duties was to make a stock of amalgam filings. The correct an 2 CONC d measured ingredients were melted in a crucible; father would then be called to contribute c 2 CONC lippings from a gold sovereign (these were still in use but not for long). When cold, I secur 2 CONC ed the almost fist-sized ingot under several thicknesses of newspaper in a vice. Then, wit 2 CONC h a file (which was considered almost sacred as it had been kept for years only for this expr 2 CONC ess purpose) I would, at convenient intervals over the following days, produce the required f 2 CONC ilings. 2 CONT These would be spread out on a shelf to "age" before being bottled for use. Habit dies hard 2 CONC , but after this lot had been used up father was persuaded to buy his amalgam from the denta 2 CONC l depots. 2 CONT Another laboratory task I had to perform was the breaking up of father's considerable stock o 2 CONC f porcelain platinum pin teeth. Not only had the "Steels Facing", with its gold removable bac 2 CONC king, been recently introduced, but also gold-clad pinned porcelain teeth were generally in u 2 CONC se. What really prompted the exercise was the post-war price of platinum, which had soared t 2 CONC o a dizzy £25 an ounce. I seem to remember that gold was less than £3 an ounce. 2 CONT The laboratory was in the extensive basement of the three-storey building with surgeries on t 2 CONC he first and second floors. Next to my workbench was a speaking tube, a common feature in ol 2 CONC d London town houses from the days before the telephone. Its whistle-plug would usually be bl 2 CONC asted from its socket when my father was at the other end upstairs. This could mean I was nee 2 CONC ded in the surgery for "a gas case". Father administered the anaesthetic himself as well as o 2 CONC perating, which was permitted in those days. Between the face mask and the gasbag was a meta 2 CONC l device containing ether, which he regulated to prolong the anaesthesia. I was required to h 2 CONC old the whole apparatus in position on the face while father manipulated the valves to his sa 2 CONC tisfaction and the patient's stupefaction. Then, poised with forceps at the ready, the signa 2 CONC l would be given; I would drop the contraption, grab the patient's head and watch an unfailin 2 CONC g and fascinating exhibition of high-speed extraction of teeth. Lower forceps, just used, wit 2 CONC h tooth attached, would literally be dropped to the floor en route to grabbing upper forcep 2 CONC s from the bracket table. Father was a most dextrous operator. I rather took his bold and ski 2 CONC lful use of the dental elevator for granted then, but later my own experience and practise br 2 CONC ought me to appreciate it to the full. 2 CONT Concurrently, I attended lectures in chemistry and physics at the Royal Dental Hospital. Soo 2 CONC n I was involved in a motor accident with injury to my right leg which laid me up for six mon 2 CONC ths. With the money I received in compensation, I decided to take medicine as well. This mean 2 CONC t going to the Middlesex Hospital to study biology. Having passed the first Conjoint Examinat 2 CONC ion and my mechanical apprenticeship completed, I entered Guy's Hospital. 2 CONT Guy's Hospital Dental School and Hospital was founded by Newland Pedley in 1902 after he ha 2 CONC d returned from South Africa. The British Government had commissioned him to investigate cond 2 CONC itions of troops in the field. He brought equipment with him and rendered a dental service 2 CONC . I have failed to discover any record of this episode. 2 CONT By today's standards things were primitive. Although the electric dental drill, driven by cab 2 CONC le in casing, was around, the chair-side pedestal unit had not yet arrived on the scene. Eac 2 CONC h student provided his own foot drill and portable cabinet containing essential instruments a 2 CONC nd certain materials (e.g. GP points) for conservative dentistry. We operated mostly by dayli 2 CONC ght. The conservation room had a glass roof that was cooled by water on hot summer days. Th 2 CONC e rear wall was lined with lockers. Each student kept his equipment, white coat, books, rainc 2 CONC oat, sports gear and other paraphernalia in his own locker. A spittoon and wooden table wer 2 CONC e alongside each dental chair. We grabbed the best-lit chair available, taking our patient t 2 CONC o it and setting out our equipment. This was the order of the day, for in no circumstances we 2 CONC re we allowed to reserve a chair or leave our equipment about; everything had to be put bac 2 CONC k in our lockers when not in use. 2 CONT Local anaesthetics were administered by infiltration: 2% Novocain tablets and adrenaline wer 2 CONC e issued together with Ringers isotonic solution. These were mixed and boiled in a small cruc 2 CONC ible over a spirit lamp and then drawn up into an injection syringe with a plunger that rarel 2 CONC y worked smoothly, with consequent discomfort to the patient. Needles were two or three time 2 CONC s as thick as the yet-to-come stainless steel ones and were liable to break. The theory of ne 2 CONC rve block anaesthesia was taught but avoided in practice because of these risks and drawbacks 2 CONC . Although nasal administration of nitrous oxide was being introduced, regular sessions in th 2 CONC e "gas room" were usually exciting experiences involving "straight" administration and the ex 2 CONC traction of as many teeth as possible before the patient came round. 2 CONT This brings to mind my memories, as a very small boy, of the "gasometer" for making nitrous o 2 CONC xide gas, which stood in the corner of my grandfather's surgery. Painted white and less tha 2 CONC n a cubic metre in size, it went up and down in vertical guides and appeared, to my infant ey 2 CONC es, to be a miniature of the enormous gasometers to be seen near towns all over England in th 2 CONC ose days. 2 CONT By (I think) 1907, it was giving way to the pure bottled N20 in use today. In 1846 -the yea 2 CONC r my grandfather George Pedley started dental practice in London -the recent American discove 2 CONC ry, nitrous oxide, crossed the Atlantic to England. Only when it could be made absolutely pur 2 CONC e did its description, "laughing gas", disappear. 2 CONT To return to Guy's, where there were many South Africans, for Wits Dental School had not ye 2 CONC t come into being, the filling materials we used were limited. I cannot remember the consider 2 CONC able number of cohesive gold fillings we had to literally hammer into place; there was als 2 CONC o a limited number of gold inlays which we had to place and cast ourselves. Tremendous emphas 2 CONC is was placed on the relatively new concept of extension for prevention in cavity preparation 2 CONC . The value of amalgam as a filling when properly prepared and inserted was gaining ground. W 2 CONC e did the occasional porcelain inlay, but the new silicate porcelain from De Trey of Switzerl 2 CONC and boded well for the future, although only later did I learn how to handle it correctly. 2 CONT Sound principles in crown and bridge work were taught, though few opportunities came the wa 2 CONC y of the student to practise them. Suaged gold (not cast) was used in partial denture work. G 2 CONC erman silver alloy (nickel silver) was used entirely as a "practice material" and one becam 2 CONC e expert in the technique of suaging metal plate and soldering it to the required wires or ba 2 CONC nds (also of NSA) with silver solder. Vulcanite came in red, pink and black. All porcelain "g 2 CONC um sections", which came in blocks of three for the front teeth and two for the premolars, ha 2 CONC d the merit of being less artificial in appearance, but had many limitations. 2 CONT The worst deficiency in the training and teaching of those days, and for years to come, was d 2 CONC isregard for the preservation of the facial contour in edentulous or near edentulous cases o 2 CONC r restoration of the facial contour in longstanding full denture wearers. We were taught to b 2 CONC e good manipulators and technicians. Any artistic sense that any of the teaching staff posses 2 CONC sed was not apparent. 2 CONT However, just before I sat for my finals, I saw full dentures in the mouth of a Salvation Arm 2 CONC y officer in a material similar in appearance to today's acrylic. Named "Walkerite" after th 2 CONC e scientist who invented it, it was to be the forerunner of similar initially good looking bu 2 CONC t short-lived denture materials until the arrival of acrylic plastic in 1938. "Vidon", "Resav 2 CONC in", "Palladon", the celluloids "Heckolite" (German) and "Oralite", were all to become the su 2 CONC bject of investigation and practical application with initial pleasure and ultimate grief. 2 CONT I knew "Oralite" best and used it most. Arriving in Johannesburg in 1936, with the special eq 2 CONC uipment needed, I processed my own Oralite dentures for two years. One day Mr Home of Taylo 2 CONC r and Home Dental Suppliers, brought me a sample of material which had been sent to him fro 2 CONC m Belgium. I tried this out and knew with little doubt that in my hands lay, at last, the en 2 CONC d of the long search for a suitable denture material. It was acrylic resin. 2 CONT When I qualified LDS in February 1926, I received a telegram which read: "Join me immediately 2 CONC , passage paid for". Not unexpected, the message was from Rowland Campion, who had the only B 2 CONC ritish dental practice in Egypt, whom I had met at the end of the 1914-18 War eight years bef 2 CONC ore when he was Captain Campion, RAMC Dental Corps, then in uniform, on leave. 2 CONT He had been posted to the maxillo-facial unit at Alexandria's Mustafa Hospital for the War an 2 CONC d had decided to set up private practice in Alexandria at the end of hostilities. He had kep 2 CONC t in close touch with me ever since. An added excitement for me was the fact that while I wa 2 CONC s at Guy's (in 1922), Tutankhamen's tomb had been discovered. I had avidly followed every rep 2 CONC ort on the excavations and was "hooked" on the study of Egyptology. 2 CONT From London, crossing the English Channel, Europe and the Mediterranean, it took me four an 2 CONC d a half days to reach Alexandria. Next day I treated 10 patients, communicating with two o 2 CONC f them in bad schoolboy French. 2 CONT As subsequent events were to prove my experience unique, I may perhaps be forgiven for includ 2 CONC ing those aspects of my personal experience in Egypt over nearly two years, which may be of i 2 CONC nterest in tracing the history and development of dentistry to its advanced state in this yea 2 CONC r of 1983. I was to receive a quick succession of shocks and disillusionments that I soon det 2 CONC ermined to regard as lessons learnt and experience gained. It was to prove a classic exampl 2 CONC e of lasting benefit gained from the mismanagement and even stupidity and malpractice of othe 2 CONC rs. What not to do can sometimes be the guide to what best to do. 2 CONT The consulting-rooms were a second floor suite in the American Mission Building in the hear 2 CONC t of the city. There were three surgeries, an X-ray room, a waiting room, a spare room an 2 CONC d a passage where there was a single gas ring on which instruments were sterilised in a sauce 2 CONC pan and upon which Thompson, ex-army Sergeant, medical corps nurse and our general factotum 2 CONC , cooked our midday meal ("I'm afraid we'll have to fall back on an omelette again today!") 2 CONC . The passage led through to the roomy and well-lit laboratory. 2 CONT My bare-floored, uncurtained, unadorned surgery had a washbasin fitted by an incompetent Ara 2 CONC b workman the day before I started. There was an ancient, plush upholstered dental chair wit 2 CONC h bracket table, a spittoon and (oh dear!) a foot engine. A multi-drawered, shabby dental cab 2 CONC inet stood in the corner against the wall. Next to it, on the floor, lay a one metre long nit 2 CONC rous oxide gas bottle with gas mask bag and tube attached. A desk table and chair completed t 2 CONC he depressing scene. The other assistant's surgery was better equipped for a rather ordinar 2 CONC y but likeable little man. He had been a war-time dental mechanic at Mustafa Hospital, who ha 2 CONC d qualified LDS Liverpool with the help of a post-war army grant. 2 CONT The main surgery had the latest invention, a Ritter pedestal unit. The rest was a shambles, b 2 CONC etraying a reluctance to spend money in the interest of efficiency and appearance. The X-ra 2 CONC y room, leading directly by partition doors off the main surgery, housed, in magnificent isol 2 CONC ation, a recently installed Ritter X-ray machine. There was a wash-basin and a contraption o 2 CONC f black curtains in one corner which served as a "dark room". 2 CONT We opened at 8 a.m. and never left before Campion had finished, which could be any time up t 2 CONC o 6 p.m. Campion's clientele was almost exclusively among the well-to-do cosmopolitan communi 2 CONC ty of Alexandria. Their oral cavities became loaded with "gold work". For those with "amalga 2 CONC m incomes" and/or resistance to his sales talk, his assistants were available. However, he wa 2 CONC s always overbooked and behind schedule. My reputation for strict punctuality overcame my you 2 CONC thful appearance and soon gained for me a valued cosmopolitan and Egyptian clientele. 2 CONT We all took Saturday and Thursday afternoons off. I forgot to mention the shower room that of 2 CONC ten provided welcome relief in a climate more hot and humid than Durban! 2 CONT My varied duties kept me constantly busy. The mechanic was soon dismissed for another hardl 2 CONC y more competent. I spent hours in the laboratory daily processing and casting gold inlays an 2 CONC d designing and processing and casting skeletal gold dentures. Taking, developing and reporti 2 CONC ng on X-rays was my responsibility. When the temperature of my solutions and wash exceeded 8 2 CONC 5 Fahrenheit which it did for a few months of the year -the surface of the film would lift, d 2 CONC istort and even float off. I soon worked out that by adding alum to developer, fixer and wash 2 CONC ing water, I was safe for another five degrees or more. 2 CONT While working in the X-ray room I could hear Campion's conversations next door. I soon picke 2 CONC d up a working French dental vocabulary. I took lessons in Arabic because Campion had ideas o 2 CONC f my opening a practice in the native town of Tanta -a pipe dream. The language was only usef 2 CONC ul to me outside the practice. 2 CONT English, in those days of British prestige and the British mandate, was widely spoken -certai 2 CONC nly by all educated people. The children of the cosmopolitan families who were patients of th 2 CONC e practice all seemed to have (often attractive) English governesses and spoke English as wel 2 CONC l as their parents. 2 CONT My most adventurous role was in the field of general anaesthetics. I was expected to administ 2 CONC er nitrous oxide or ethyl chloride when needed. That long and heavy gas cylinder in my surger 2 CONC y was the only one we had. I did not know when it would empty; there was no spare. 2 CONT Pulling it across the floor to within reach of the patient, down on one knee with gas mask ov 2 CONC er my own face, I would turn on the supply with a spanner, regulating it to what I hoped wa 2 CONC s a satisfactory flow. Rising to my feet, I would apply the mask to the patient and while reg 2 CONC ulating the valves, I would hope, even pray, for the best. 2 CONT A month after my arrival I had to go before an examining board in Cairo. I was treated with c 2 CONC ourtesy and cordiality mixed with curiosity about nerve-block anaesthesia and 'the latest tea 2 CONC chings and techniques. 2 CONT In due course my diploma was returned to me duly endorsed in Arabic. Also from the Administra 2 CONC tion of Public Hygiene, a beautifully inscribed "AUTHORISATION D'Excerser la Profession de De 2 CONC ntiste". 2 CONT This was written, stamped and signed, with sundry endorsements, in both Arabic and French 2 CONC . I prize it among my possessions, a document which could be of interest to future generation 2 CONC s of dentists. A decade later foreign dentists were forbidden and/or expelled from Egypt, th 2 CONC e Cairo Dental School having been founded in 1929. 2 CONT Our local anaesthetic was available in 4 oz bottles with a thick rubber cover stretched tight 2 CONC ly over the bottle mouth. One punctured it with the syringe needle and withdrew the require 2 CONC d amount. It was potent stuff. Campion would draw a certain amount up into his syringe and th 2 CONC en a similar amount from the hot water in the electric saucepan in his surgery, which serve 2 CONC d for sterilising the business end of his hand instruments (i.e. scalers, probes, etc). I cou 2 CONC ld never summon the courage to tell him that the swelling and pain he warned his patients t 2 CONC o expect after an extraction was due to his cheerful disregard for (and probable ignorance of 2 CONC ) the principles of osmosis. 2 CONT Campion knew that I saved the teeth I extracted for the purpose of histological research in t 2 CONC he future. One day he entered my surgery, found an upper first premolar, broke off one of th 2 CONC e roots and hastily departed without comment, for I was attending a patient. Later I was info 2 CONC rmed he had to do this because he had left a root behind in the jaw when extracting. The pati 2 CONC ent had then asked to see the tooth, and he wished to satisfy her that the tooth had been com 2 CONC pletely removed. My scandalised objection was met with contempt and finally an expression o 2 CONC f hope and a prayer (he was a "holy man") that God would guide me to understand. 2 CONT On another occasion I had been requested by an Italian woman (was she one of the many "ladie 2 CONC s of the town"?) to make and fit an almost full upper denture over the many root stumps she f 2 CONC latly refused to have extracted. She had no English and her French was little better than min 2 CONC e. I called Campion to persuade her and he sent me to the laboratory. Soon he came to tell m 2 CONC e that it was pointless talking to her and that I must accede to her request. His reaction t 2 CONC o my shocked refusal, as a matter of principle, was "Very well, then I had better get on wit 2 CONC h it myself", and he returned to the woman in my surgery. I neither heard more of the matte 2 CONC r nor saw the patient again. 2 CONT Thompson was our sole staff except for the erratic services of a 16-year-old Arab boy who per 2 CONC formed the odd small chore, including the transport to the sterilisation point (the gas rin 2 CONC g and saucepan in the passage), and later return, of the instruments we had used. Campion wen 2 CONC t to England on leave and my co-assistant was taking a short holiday. I had become increasing 2 CONC ly conscious of the listlessness and pallor of the Arab boy and one day caught him with his t 2 CONC rousers down and handling a mysterious bottle of fluid; he had gonorrhoea. I learnt later tha 2 CONC t this was his second attack of the disease. 2 CONT Which reminds me that when Campion was again on leave in 1927 I experienced an earthquake. I 2 CONC t was Saturday midday lunch hour. Thompson and I were eating our meal in the spare room (in w 2 CONC hich I was actually living at the time), when the whole place began to shake, the floor heavi 2 CONC ng up and down and my long white coat swinging like a pendulum on its peg on the door. We rus 2 CONC hed onto the small railed balcony, keeping close to the wall. The tram cables in the street b 2 CONC elow were whipping against the poles. A strange sultry quiet prevailed, broken at last by Tho 2 CONC mpson's voice with its broad Scottish accent: "It's aboot time the Lord visited this wicked c 2 CONC ity". The longest two minutes of my life had passed and we went off to inspect the building f 2 CONC or (thankfully not too serious) cracks. 2 CONT When I had three weeks leave I stayed with friends in Palestine, journeying through the nigh 2 CONC t to Jerusalem on the war-time-built railway across the Sinai Desert; roads were primitive. W 2 CONC ith Bible in pocket, I did a great deal of walking around. Jerusalem and Bethlehem were mostl 2 CONC y under snow. In Jericho, some 1,200 feet below sea level, I was in my shirtsleeves. 2 CONT An old school and medical friend in Haifa did his rounds on horseback. In token of a long fri 2 CONC endship and appreciation for some dental service I rendered in his clinic in the then harbour 2 CONC less town, he gave me a violin (much better than my own) which a patient had willed to him. 2 CONT Only recently freed from centuries of Turkish domination, Palestine in 1927 seemed to me to b 2 CONC reathe relief under the British Mandate. How different things would be on my next visit 34 ye 2 CONC ars later. 2 CONT Near the end of my stay in Egypt, I teamed up with a fluent-in-Arabic friend and motored in m 2 CONC y little Citroen along the canal-side dirt roads to Cairo for a last fling. On returning to A 2 CONC lexandria I left wonderful, mysterious, sunny Egypt with mixed feelings of regret and relief. 2 CONT However, one more aspect of my Egyptian experience had to be faced when I had arrived back i 2 CONC n London. I received flattering requests and offers of influential backing to persuade me t 2 CONC o return and open a practice in Cairo. Any plans I may have had to take advantage of these of 2 CONC fers were thwarted by the inadvisability of contesting the fact that my contract of assistant 2 CONC ship with Campion had bound me out of all Egypt for ten years. 2 CONT There followed a search from London to Bristol for a suitable and permanent place in which t 2 CONC o settle. It was to be in a home-based practice in Streatham, London, SW, with a branch pract 2 CONC ice at 51 Welbeck Street Wl. It was owned by Harold Harrison, whose ill-health was apparent w 2 CONC hen he engaged me as his sole assistant. Two weeks later he collapsed in his surgery at Welbe 2 CONC ck Street and it was to be six months before he could return to work, when he took me into pa 2 CONC rtnership. This was to be my life and work for the next eight years until, married to a Sout 2 CONC h African girl, I would emigrate to her country. 2 CONT The West End practice was run in association with that of Mr Nixon, a leading dentist of Edin 2 CONC burgh. His elite clients had London bases and regularly "came down for the London Season" I f 2 CONC ound myself treating the well known, the aristocratic and titled society. One of my favourite 2 CONC s was lady-in-waiting to Queen Mary. I learnt a great deal from her great charm of manner an 2 CONC d speech. Her eloquence was so erudite and delightful that I used to jot down unaccustomed wo 2 CONC rds she might use for later study at home. 2 CONT Another I have cause to remember, although for different reasons, was an imposing, florid Maj 2 CONC or General- ex Indian Army -who I was reluctantly obliged to render edentulous in the cours 2 CONC e of four administrations of gas. I used on him a valuable trick I had learnt in Egypt and em 2 CONC ployed regularly. Often heavy drinkers go rigid and arch their backs as anaesthesia becomes e 2 CONC ffective. For suspected drinkers, I kept a harness strap handy and at the right moment of ind 2 CONC uction would pass it round the patient's middle and buckle it firmly underneath the chair. Ha 2 CONC ving operated, I would release the strap and hide it away. Some time later, when the Genera 2 CONC l had become an accustomed denture-wearer, said he: "Each time you took out teeth for me, I t 2 CONC hink, young man, you slipped something round my middle and pinned me down?" "Yes Sir," I repl 2 CONC ied, "I did." "Could it have been a harness strap?" he asked. "Yes Sir, it was." "Ha! I thoug 2 CONC ht so. I wasn't in the cavalry all those years for nothing!" 2 CONT Harrison's recovery did not last long. The West End connection was disposed of and in due cou 2 CONC rse, in 1931, I bought Harrison out and moved the busy Streatham practice to my own house a 2 CONC t 14 Becmead Avenue. 2 CONT Meanwhile I had obtained part-time appointments to three London Hospitals. One was the Magdal 2 CONC en Hospital for Destitute Women. This was an emergency service in that it entailed eliminatin 2 CONC g obvious sepsis and sending the patients for employment in Australia or far from their origi 2 CONC ns. Most of them were under 17 and had been born to prostitutes operating in mid and norther 2 CONC n cities of Britain. 2 CONT Another was the British Home and Hospital for Incurables, mostly advanced rheumatoid arthriti 2 CONC s cases. I found the mouths in a sorely neglected state and worked to effect a clean-up and t 2 CONC hereby general improvement and arrest of the disease. I was disappointed. One very old edentu 2 CONC lous lady there was put out by the late appearance of an upper right wisdom tooth. After I ha 2 CONC d removed it under a slight whiff of gas, she examined the tooth closely, remarking that my n 2 CONC ame was an unusual one and asked could I be connected with a dentist she knew long, long ag 2 CONC o
