Second son of James Blakeway, MRCVS, of Stourbridge, Worcestershire. Educated at Stourbridge; entered St Bartholomew’s Hospital in 1903, where he won the Harvey Prize for Practical Physiology, the Brackenbury Scholarship in Surgery, the Willett Medal in Operative Surgery, the Walsham Prize for Surgical Pathology, and the Matthews Duncan Medal in Obstetrics. He was appointed House Surgeon at the Great Northern Central Hospital in 1908, and became House Surgeon at St Bartholomew’s Hospital to C B Lockwood (qv) in October of the same year. He was appointed Demonstrator of Anatomy at St Bartholomew’s Hospital in 1910, a position he held for several years. He proved himself a good teacher, and produced some original work on the anatomy of the palate which was put to practical use in the treatment of hare-lip and cleft palate when he became Surgeon to Out-patients at the Victoria Hospital for Children in Tite Street, Chelsea. In 1915 he lectured, as Hunterian Professor at the Royal College of Surgeons, on “The Operative Treatment of Cleft Palate”. He was appointed Surgical Registrar at St Bartholomew’s Hospital in 1913, and at this time he was holding the office of Surgeon to the City of London Truss Society. On the outbreak of war in 1914 he was specially retained, much against his will, as one of the younger surgeons necessary to treat the civil population at the hospitals in London. In this position he acted, in addition to his ordinary work, as Demonstrator of Morbid Anatomy, Temporary Assistant Surgeon, and Resident Assistant Surgeon at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, whilst he continued to take classes and give demonstrations in the Medical School and to attend professionally those of his colleagues and their families who required surgical assistance. All these duties he performed gladly. They overtaxed his strength, and he died in the Etherington-Smith Ward of the hospital on February 15th, 1919, from pneumonia during an epidemic of influenza. He married Margery Campbell, daughter of Frank Griffith, of Woking, and left a son and two daughters. He practised at 145 Harley Street and lived at 1 Weymouth Street, W1. A portrait illustrates the obituary notice in the *St Bartholomew’s Hospital Journal*. Blakeway’s death was deeply regretted, for he would have maintained the surgical reputation of the hospital both as teacher and as operator. He was an admirable practical anatomist, and his dissections of the pharynx and the palate are preserved in the Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons. As a man he was most unassuming, of a somewhat frail appearance, courteous in address, a loyal friend, a lover of books and music, a rider to hounds by heredity, and in all things trustworthy.
