Rural Councillor Mrs Ellen Tait

Can anyone help with dating an article from the "Sunday Dispatch" re Mrs Ellen Tait. She was a rural councillor and lived in a council house in Edlington. She was a remarkable lady and I would appreciate help with my research.

Tait Avenue

I was born in 1949, soon after my parents had moved into 36 Tait Avenue, one of the first Council Houses to be built at Hill Top, New Edlington. I lived there until 1963 shortly before the Comprehensive School was built on farmland at the back of our house. I assume that Tait Avenue was named after Councillor Tait although I never knew her. My grandparents lived on Woodlands Terrace. They came to the village from Staffordshire during the 1920s and my Grandad was a miner at Yorkshire Main Colliery.

Old Rectory of The White Church

As a child I lived on Croft Road, Balby during the 1970's. My sisters and I attended Nightingale school while Mr Hillaby was Headmaster. We used to go on nature walks to the overgrown garden of the derelict old rectory behind the school. The eerie boarded up old house and pet graves really captured our imagination. I would love to see an old photograph of the house and learn more about its history and occupants.
