Template:14 April

14th April 1969: Ena Sharples was usually the most law-abiding of citizens but even she was moved by the spirit of the age and took to the streets in protest when Ray Langton revealed that the pensioners' clubhouse was being demolished. She formed an action committee with Albert Tatlock, Minnie Caldwell and Alice Pickins and this group of revolutionaries decided to picket the council offices. Told to move on, they turned the protest into a sit-down one and the police honed in on Ena as the ringleader. She was arrested and carted away, receiving a caution but this didn't stop the sturdy group. Instead they had an overnight sit-in at the clubhouse itself which duly won a reprieve.
