Tieve Tara was the name of a private house and semi-detached General Practice surgery in Airedale, Castleford, West Yorkshire. It has been occupied by the author’s family almost continuously since 1923. He and his parents were GPs who worked and lived there. His wife was the practice manager. The book is the history of that building. It describes how the building evolved into the Tieve Tara Medical Centre, semi-detached from the renamed private Hill House. It is about loyalty, teamwork, class, friendship, laughter and life behind the scenes of medical work over nearly 100 years.
