Mrs B. Toft was an elderly widow who lived in the vicinity of Coronation Street in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Mrs Toft was a contemporary of Minnie Caldwell and Ena Sharples with whom she was casually acquainted. She courted her husband for over thirty years before they were wed, and they had at least one child together who went on to produce a grandson. Mrs Toft was widowed in 1967, but she still had company at the family home courtesy of her cat Suki. In 1972, Mrs Toft helped Hilda Ogden track down her husband Stan by informing her that she saw him on Inkerman Street.
