Dr Navin was our Doctor for many years, his practice was on the corner of Swan Lane. Both me and my sister have been interested to see if he was still alive. The most recent article I could find was from about 4yrs ago. Thanks. ![]() ![]() |

Dr Navin was our family doctor and I attended his surgery on the corner of Swan Lane and Walsgrave Road for more than 20 years. He was the works' doctor for the GEC, in the days that you had a medical when you started work, and he also worked for the police. ![]() ![]() |

I was informed he died by Paul who started Copthorne school site. |

After Freddies closed he went to Sidney Stringer and retired from there. I cannot recall his first name but I think it might be John. ![]() |
