| VILLAGE LIFE BETWEEN THE WAR YEARS By longstanding Codsall resident, Jack Taylor INTRODUCTION Jack Taylor was born in Wood Road, Codsall in March 1918 and has lived most of his life in the village. He’s now 82 and living in Perton. His wife Betty, who died last year, was a founder member of Codsall Dramatic Society and a well-known actress. Both Mr and Mrs Taylor threw themselves into village life. Jack served on the parish and district councils for many years and was a member of the committee responsible for the building of the village hall. He was also a member of the Codsall Men’s TOC H – set up in the village in 1929. He restarted the 1st Codsall scout troop after the Second World War. He and Betty served on the arts festival committee for many years – retiring from it in the mid 1990s. This account was based on a series of tape-recorded interviews carried out with Jack in 1995. It has never previously been published until now (April 2001). We hope to have a picture of Jack to place on the site shortly. CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE, OR PRESS THE NEXT BUTTON BELOW |
