Template:10 October

10th October 1997: Mavis Wilton said her goodbyes to friends and neighbours of over twenty-five years as she left Weatherfield for the last time, six months after Derek Wilton's death. Mavis was bound for Cartmel, where she had bought a cottage and guest house which she was going to run along with Rita Sullivan. Rita dropped out when she decided that country life wasn't for her, and was surprised by Mavis's decision to go ahead with the move alone, leaving Rita's side behind the Kabin counter where she'd been since 1973.
