Nellie Fairclough

Nellie Fairclough (whose character never appeared in Coronation Street) left Len in 1962, and had ran off with another man taking son Stanley with them. Nellie had become increasingly frustrated with Len, as she felt that she had been treated like a drudge by him, as Len always meddled in Elsie's business, especially were her men friends were involved. This led to Nellie's affair with insurance man Harry (Ron) Bailey, and she and son Stanley leftWeatherfield for Nottingham with Harry.
