The blue plaque is situated on the building that was the Veterinary Infirmary of Thomas Mayer. Thomas Mayer opened what is considered to be the country’s first veterinary surgery in Queen Street, Newcastle in 1812. He and his son led the campaign for the Royal Charter of the Veterinary Profession that was granted in 1844. The Mayer family played a major part in developing the role and professionalism of veterinary surgeons through improving standards of training and practice and the development of veterinary morals and ethics. The blue plaque is inscribed as follows; 'Newcastle-under-Lyme Civic Society Veterinary Infirmary (erected c.1815) of Thomas Mayer Leading campaigner for the Royal Charter of the Veterinary Profession (1844) 2010' more info >>>> https://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/wm107XW_Thomas_Mayer_Newcastle_under_Lyme_Staffordshire_UK
