Tribute
Hindle In a tribute
to James Edward Hindle,
HILARY EDMONDSON writes:
Pharmacy colleagues and staff who worked with
and for Jim Hindle
have together written this tribute as a mark of respect and gratitude
for his contribution over 50 years as a pharmacist in the Hessle Road
community in Hull.
In 1920 Jim’s father, Edward Hindle, purchased a pharmacy at 218 Hessle
Road, Hull, from Edwin Fowler. The business had been a pharmacy since 1888 and
remains a community pharmacy today. Jim was educated at the Boulevard School
and after a period of apprenticeship with his father, earned a place at Brunswick
Square to qualify as a pharmaceutical chemist. Jim was always very proud that
at university he earned a bronze medal and studied in the same year as John Stenlake.
In 1943 he was called up to the forces and went to Canada with the Fleet Air
Arm to train as a pilot. He nearly died from a serious scarlet fever infection,
which damaged his eyesight. He was sent to Scotland as a pharmacist in a military
hospital. He was demobbed early to enable him to help his father, who has become
very ill.
When Edward Hindle died in 1947, Jim took over the two pharmacies in Hull as
a limited company, which he directed for the next 56 years.
Jim established a manufacturing unit at the premises on Hessle Road and sold
a comprehensive range of home remedies. Production of these medicines from the
original formulae continued until 1993.
The pharmacy was in the heart of Hull’s fishing industry and the community
looked to him for medical advice and treatment. Many of the formulae became household
names to treat ailments of the trawlermen away at sea.
Jim was a man of great professional and business integrity. He built a reputation
by providing a centre for pharmaceutical advice for other health professionals
and worked with other local pharmacists to prevent abuse of medicines such as
Phensedyl linctus. In recognition of his contribution to the local population
decades later his picture was painted in a mural at Edinburgh Street Community
Centre.
Jim married Vera in 1947 on the same day as the Queen and Prince Philip were
married. They were devoted to each other until Vera, affectionately known as
Vee, died in 2003.
In 1953 Jim was made a fellow of the Pharmaceutical Society and in 1959 he was
president of Hull Pharmacists’ Association.
Jim was a no-nonsense Yorkshireman and an innovative thinker and always demanded
others to match his high standards. He took great pride in the success of the
young people who trained and worked in his pharmacy. The many local pharmacists
and technicians who had the benefit of his professional, ethical and business
mentorship will not forget him.
G. B. DRUMMOND writes:
James Hindle, who died on 2 October at the North
Ferriby Nursing Home, was one of the outstanding pharmacists of his
era.
After war service in the Royal Navy he succeeded his father, the late
Edward Hindle, as owner of two pharmacies in Hull.
My own acquaintance with him dates from that time, and during the 30 years
of my general medical practice in the area I enjoyed a close professional
relationship with him. I held him in high esteem as a capable and ethical
member of his
profession.
He will be sadly missed by his many friends and colleagues.
