| - No.7 is unique in the Street as it was technically built in 1982 by Len Fairclough. The original No.7 was demolished in 1965 when the front of the house collapsed due to a faulty beam and the owner, Mr Wormold, had it destroyed due to the massive cost of repairs. However, aside from the brickwork, the new house does not differ hugely from the old one. The current owner is Dev Alahan, proprieter of the Corner Shop and Prima Doner in Victoria Street. Dev bought the house in 2010 off Maria Connor after reconciling with his ex-wife Sunita. They lived there with their twin children Aadi and Asha for two years. The couple separated and Sunita's lover Karl Munro moved in after his affair with Sunita was publicly exposed. He moved out later in the year. Sunita was tragically killed in a fire at The Rovers in 2013, which was started by Karl. Widower Dev now lives there with the twins. Previous residents include Len and Rita Fairclough, Jenny and Alan Bradley, Angie Freeman, Curly and Raquel Watts, Samantha Failsworth, Emma Watts, Danny, Frankie, Jamie and Warren Baldwin, and Liam and Maria Connor. The old No.7 was the home of Harry, Concepta and Lucille Hewitt but was uninhabited at the time of its collapse.
