She left her daughter, Linda Cheveski with the task of selling her house. Being in the throes of divorcing her husband, Linda took the opportunity to stay in the house herself. Builder Bill Webster was interested in buying the house to provide some stability for his children Kevin and Debbie after the death of their mother, Alison. Linda took quite a fancy to Bill and hoped that he would ask her to live with him but he wasn’t interested so she returned to Birmingham.

Their son Trevor tried to convince his mother to have Stan cremated to save money but Hilda insisted on a burial, buying a plot with enough room for her as well. Throughout the funeral, Hilda had kept her dignity but on returning home she unwrapped Stan’s belongings which had been returned by the hospital and as she opened his spectacle case she wept floods of tears.
Also in 1984: Violet Carson dies; Bill Webster rents Len’s old builders’ yard; Mavis Riley and Derek Wilton jilt each other at the altar; Bert Tilsley dies; Albert Tatlock dies; Gail becomes manager of Jim’s Café after Alma goes off to Spain; Graffiti Club closes after manager runs off with profits; Mike installs a PC in his office; Jack buys Stan’s old window cleaning round and meets Dulcie Froggatt.

Violet Carson died on Boxing Day 1983, not in 1984.
Of course she did John. I don't know where that came from. Probably confusing it with her memorial service which was held in February 1984. Thanks.
I'm thinking that Hilda is yet alive, living with Dr Lowther as his housekeeper in Cartmel.
She must be about the same age as Betty Williams, by now, though.
Strange how no word on Hilda gets back to the street hese days, mind. Would be nice if it did.
