This house at 179 Burnt Ash Hill was the home and surgery of Dr Carey, a well known figure in Lee. It has been opened to the public on Saturdays through November, and will remain open for two more Saturdays ( December 6th and 13th) from 11 AM to 4 PM.
Charlotte Mann has mounted an exhibition in the house, which is due to be sold soon. It commemorates her grand-father and two of his brothers – all doctors – who came to Britain from Ireland. The practice ran from until the 1980s. Another brother, Charlie, was a lawyer and a huge collector of books, which are also on show. Charlotte is compiling an oral history and is keen to hear from anyone who remembers the practice.
