Hi Wendy
In my excitement at receiving your post I forgot to thank you for it, hence this post.

Any memories that you have of this era would be greatly welcomed.

Mrs Green was my grandmother. I will diplomatically refer to "Granny Green" as a village character. At the time you refer to she was living at Chapel House, Birdwood. I am wondering if she rode her bike to collect the rent on Ivy Cottage? Or perhaps a cheque was put in the post?

There was along running dispute behind the scenes regarding the Council, the Church and others, and Ivy Cottage was getting drawn into this. I will not bore you with details but I wondered if this rings any bells regarding security of tenancy, or any pressure to seek alternative accommodation? Or perhaps Mr Richards might recall some of this?
