Template:24 October

24th October 1966: In October 1965, Elsie Tanner decided to improve her taste in men and went to the upmarket Fox and Hounds pub in Cheshire. There she met businessman Robert Maxwell who confessed his unhappy marriage to her and offered her a lift home. On the way, he suffered a fatal heart attack at the wheel and crashed. Although she fled the scene, Elsie was tracked down and forced to attend his inquest where she met his distraught widow Moira. A year later, Elsie started to receive anonymous phone calls and various Street residents came under her suspicion. Eventually Moira turned up at No. 11, knife in hand, and blaming Elsie for wrecking her marriage and killing her husband. She was saved by Len Fairclough who broke into the house and wrestled the knife away from her before the police arrived.
