CLINIC PREMISES
Health Services Clinic - Thames View Estate
The Thames View Estate Clinic was opened on the 16th
March, 1960, and below is given an extract of the report given by
the Architect:-
"The building provides accommodation for infant welfare,
minor ailments clinics, dental surgery and a chiropodist,
and provision has been made for an extension at a later
date.
The building is of single storey construction in brick
with a timber flat roof, and the majority of the windows
are of metal except those in the waiting room which are
in hardwood, polished
The whole building has been designed with a view to
reducing maintenance costs but at the same time providing
pleasant and comfortable conditions for persons
using the clinic."
With the opening of the clinic, arrangements were made for
the Thames View Group Practice of family doctors to transfer
from the temp rary building erected by the Barking Borough Council
to the new clinic at an agreed rental.
The amen ties of the clinic are much appreciated by the publie
and the members of staff who work there.
