Waterloo Medical Centre
Medical Center in Blackpool, Lancashire
The practice was established after the First World War by Dr Pitt Taylor who was joined by Dr Dorothy Potts in 1939. Dr Potts saw the practice through the war period and the difficult early days of the National Health Service in 1948. On her retirement in 1959 Drs John and Irene Cox were appointed and were joined by their nephew, Dr Joe Cox in 1962. Government reforms in 1966 favoured bigger group practices and the partners joined colleagues at Ansdell Road. This union was unsuccessful and so Dr Joe Cox started a new stage of the practice with his wife Dr Barbara Cox in April 1970.
