May Hardman

May Hardman lived in 13 Coronation Street until 1960. After spending time in a mental hospital after a breakdown, May returned home and was cared for by her daughter Christine and neighbour Esther Hayes. She was initially worried about what the neighbours were saying about her behind her back, but after a few days she started having pains in her head. At the end of the year May collapsed and died from a brain tumour, alone in her house.
