The Flat Owner bought 46b, St. Mary's Place from Mike Baldwin when he sold up and moved to No. 6 Quebec House, Weatherfield Quays, one of the new dockland flats in August 1989. The flat's new owner was moving her things in when she had a doorstep encounter with a swathe of employees from Baldwin's Casuals who were looking for Mike to get an explanation for the factory's new owner, Maurice Jones, locking them out of the premises. Although a few of the girls, notably Vera Duckworth and Marge Butler, were not very courteous in their manners, the owner agreed to give them Mike's new address.
