| abstract | - Harry Hewitt was a resident of Coronation Street from 1921 to 1964. He grew up in the Street, and, with wife Lizzie and their daughter Lucille, they were the second successive generation of Hewitts to inhabit No.7. Harry was a bus driver and later inspector, and Lizzie a clippie. In January 1959, Lizzie died in a road accident, and, unable to cope with Lucille himself, Harry put the girl in an orphanage. In 1961, he married Concepta Riley, a barmaid at the Rovers Return Inn, the local pub at which he was a regular. Lucille returned to live with the family and in 1962 Harry and Concepta had their own child, Christopher. Although Lucille preferred to stay in Weatherfield, Concepta was always pushing Harry to move to her native Ireland, and when he eventually relented in 1964, Lucille stayed behind and moved into the Rovers with Jack and Annie Walker to finish her education. On a return visit to Weatherfield in 1967 to attend Elsie and Steve Tanner's wedding, Harry was killed when he was crushed while repairing a van.
