The Practice was originally founded by Dr Molyneux in the 1930’s at No.60 Dinas Lane, Huyton. He was eventually joined by Dr Irving, then Dr Doyle, then Dr Knight, then Dr Ian Irving. The Practice eventually became too large for the premises, so a new purpose built surgery was opened in 1990 at 149 Dinas Lane.
