A DRINKS reception was held to celebrate 60 years of a Bourton-on-the-Water dental practice.

Riverside Dental Practice was set up in 1956, and some of its patients have been with the High Street patients for decades.

A drinks reception was organised in September hosted by current owners Ian and Emma Speechley.

Guests included the founder Peter Walker, and Lionel Stedman, plus previous members of staff and several longstanding original patients.

Emma Speechley said β€œIt’s lovely that we have had such loyalty over the years.

"Some of these patients, who are now in their 70s, 80s and even 90s have continuous record cards going back to 1956 - when some even had their baby teeth charted.”
