John Milson Rhodes

John Milson Rhodes (1847 – 25 September 1909) was an English general practitioner in the suburb of Didsbury, Manchester, UK.

He was born at Broughton, Salford in 1847 and studied medicine in Glasgow and at Owen's College, Manchester.

[3] His nephew, Dr. Milson Russen Rhodes, who was with him when he took the dose, testified at the inquiry into his uncle's death that he "fought for his life for an hour" before reviving him, only for him to collapse again and die.

[4] After his death, a 8-metre (26 ft) clock tower was erected in his memory in the forecourt of Didsbury railway station.

The Edwardian Baroque Portland stone clock incorporates a pair of drinking fountains and bears a bronze plaque which displays a relief medallion portrait of Rhodes.
