Harold Sumption was GP in Drybrook until the late 50s. His second wife Helen had the chemist shop built, which was then on Drybrook Cross,and she was the pharmacist. Helen's sister, who never married, also lived in Quabbs Road, in a bungalow, which was built for her. Dr Arthur Hooper took over the GP practice when Dr Sumption retired and lived in Quabbs House with the surgery remaining on the side. The back of Quabbs House had two flats lived in by local families and the back garden housed a tennis court which Dr Sumption turned into a bowling green. No help in your research, Muriel, but a bit of local history!
