The photo shared by our patient is as below:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image text-center\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/thames-dental.co.uk\/mk_staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/TSD-in-1914-1-1024x666.jpg\" alt=\"Thames Street Dental in 1914!\" class=\"wp-image-10557\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thames-dental.co.uk\/mk_staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/TSD-in-1914-1-1024x666.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thames-dental.co.uk\/mk_staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/TSD-in-1914-1-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thames-dental.co.uk\/mk_staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/TSD-in-1914-1-768x499.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thames-dental.co.uk\/mk_staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/TSD-in-1914-1.jpg 1160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Thames Street with Thames Street Dental in 1914 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Photo taken by W.H. Applebee. Courtesy of the Howard Web Collection<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The photo above was taken by W H Applebee in 1914, and the postcard on which it featured was captured by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/howard.webb.752\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Howard Webb<\/a>, as part of the Howard Webb Collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Upon exploring further, we found the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/1011036862279092\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kingston, Surbiton, Tolworth Memories,Local History and Genealogy<\/a> group on Facebook. In this group, we found regular posts with historic photos about Kingston-upon-Thames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More historic photos of Thames Street and surrounding areas has also been captured in the following photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As it turns out, Thames Street Dental wasn&#8217;t established in 1985, but many many years before &#8211; we still don&#8217;t know when it was first established, but we know it was trading under this name back in 1914!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have added some more historical photos of Thames Street and surrounding roads in Kingston which are near Thames Street Dental in the the below slider.  Locations include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Thames Street, Kingston upon Thames<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clarence Street, Kingston upon Thames<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Market Place, Kingston upon
