Velda Seddon

Velda Seddon was the sister of Eddie Seddon, mother of Paul Seddon, grandmother of Nicolette Seddon and the aunt of Sally Metcalfe. Velda lived on Esmerelda Street and typified the origins of the rough Seddon family and Sally considered even her abusive father Eddie to be an saint compared to his sister. Sally recalled Velda's illicit acts, implying involvement in prostitution including with police officers. Velda's son Paul grew up in the same environment but through education successfully improved his situation and by 2005 was working as a university lecturer and living in a more expensive area of Weatherfield.
