At our new premises in Westway Park our collection of pharmacy artefacts and memorabilia, pays homage to where we came from. Anyone viewing these historical remnants of a bygone age and with a knowledge of current practice, will marvel at the strides that we have made in science and technology, from the fragile pages of prescription books and are more than a 100 years old, written in the finest penmanship, to the ancient bottles of medicines and potions!
