Template:23 May

23rd May 1973: The residents of the Street enjoyed a trip to the south of England and a visit to Woburn Abbey organised by ken Barlow. Minnie Caldwell bought a tea-towel in the gift shop from The Duke of Bedford himself and Ena Sharples was surprised to find that one of the guides in the house was Dora Wainwright, an old friend from Weatherfield who she hadn't met for many years. She in turn introduced Ena and the others to the Duke. Annie Walker was especially charmed by the man's manners. The only person seemingly unimpressed by the stately home was, unsurprisingly, Stan Ogden.
