Ethel Bostock

Ethel Bostock was Alderman Chapman's Mayoress from 1972 to 1973. When Alf Roberts, Chapman's replacement, chose Annie Walker as his Mayoress, Ethel called at the Rovers to meet and advise her, but the landlady was surprised when Ethel turned out not to be the woman of pretension she'd expected, but a down-to-Earth working class woman - in fact, she was so different from Annie's expectations that when she came into the pub Annie assumed she'd arrived to be interviewed for a temporary cleaner job. Ethel laughed it off and let Annie know she had actually worked as a cleaner before.

Ethel met Annie again when the Mayoral chains were handed over at the official ceremony.

Ethel was also an old friend of Minnie Caldwell's.
