Mr Worsley turned up at 13 Coronation Street in April 1973 when Elsie Howard and Norma Ford reported the house to the health inspectors. Stan Ogden had allowed the house to become a tip when Hilda was away for several weeks at her brother Archie’s and the problem became so bad for the adjoining Corner Shop and No.11 that Elsie and Norma had to take matters into their own hands.
