The 50 greatest characters countdown '''42. Albert Tatlock''' First appeared: 9th December 1960 Last appeared: 25th January 1984 Profile: Albert Tatlock was a man whose glory years were well behind him even by the second World War. His most prized possessions were his war medals and memories of that time; it was to his consternation in his twilight years that someone who had fought for his country such as himself had to live on such a meagre pension. To many Street residents, Albert was a bitter old man, forever complaining about the trivial hardships he faced every day. He expected support from his family but was too proud to ask for it - it ultimately fell to his late niece Valerie's husband Ken Barlow to care for him in the latter years of his life. He died in 1984, having lived in the same house since 1919. Remembered for: The grumpiness. Ken speaking fondly of him. The Rovers toilets being in his kitchen.
