SIR - I am able to assure Peter Lunn (Letters, October 20) that Tudor House was in use as a school dental centre long before the 1950s.

I remember visiting the place in the mid-1920s when I was five, six and seven-years old. I recollect sitting in the waiting room with some apprehension and huddling close to my dear old mother.

The dentist in charge was Matley Moore, whose family lived in, and had connections with that historic area. Looking back, I am sure he was a very good dentist.

I am now 87 and have very few teeth left and alas, like the rest of my physical being, my few remaining teeth are not very proficient.

D E MARGRETT,

Worcester.
