Deepcar Parade ... Doctor, Double Glazing and Butchery!
This parade of buildings has on the left the 'Old' Doctors' Surgery ... in the middle a Double Glazing Showroom and Offices ... and on the right a closed Butchering Dept building. I presume the Butchering Dept was part of a Co-op Shop back in the good old days. To see a 'close up' of the 'Old' Doctors and the 'New' Medical Centre follow the links.

Toad Hall in Old Haywoods, Deepcar
Don't ask me why ... but the middle house has the name Toad Hall on a sign under the window!
I am reliably informed that this building was originally the Sportsman's Arms public house and was also known as Pladdeys after the popular couple who ran the pub for over 30 years.
