In this photo print, we witness a momentous occasion as Jack Jones, the esteemed former general secretary of the Transport and General Workers Union, takes center stage to launch Coventry Housing Week. The event marks the opening of a brand new block of sheltered flats for the elderly in Earlsdon. With his wife Elsie Jones by his side, Jack exudes an air of dignity and importance as he unveils a commemorative plaque on Earlsdon Avenue South in Coventry. This powerful image captures not only the significance of providing safe housing for older members of society but also highlights Jack's continued dedication to public service even after stepping down from his union role. The year is 1987, amidst the vibrant era that was the 1980s. As vice chairman of Age Concern at this time, Jack's commitment to advocating for senior citizens shines through in every aspect of this photograph. His presence alongside Elsie serves as a reminder that behind every great leader stands a supportive partner. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints' staff with meticulous care and attention to detail, this print encapsulates an important chapter in history when individuals like Jack Jones worked tirelessly towards creating better living conditions for all members of society - regardless of age or background.
