One of the doctors employed by the Tredegar Medical Aid Society, the model for the NHS, between 1922 and 1924 was A. J. Cronin, Scottish author of the novel "The Citadel" which has been turned into a film and various television adaptations. He based the book on his experiences of working in Tredegar and elsewhere in South Wales. He is said to have based characters in the book on his colleagues such as Dr Edwin Davies and Walter Conway. Cronin's wife, May, also a doctor, worked in one of the dispensaries, and the family lived at The Glen. This was one of the houses owned by the society who rented houses out to doctors (apart from the chief medical officer who had his own house), to the caretaker and to a dental mechanic. Cronin's oldest son, Vincent, also a well-known writer, was born in Tredegar in 1924.
