Jim Schofield (March 1961 character)

Shockwaves spread through Coronation Street in March 1961 when the residents were informed by Ena Sharples that she had seen a notice at the Town Hall that the Street was to be demolished. A protest meeting was organised by Frank Barlow to protest against the move but one person uncertain was Harry Hewitt who considered that moving away from the old terraces and to a new estate might not be a bad thing. One person who had made such a move was Jim Schofield who had recently been re-housed in new estate. He came back to his old haunts and told everyone that he thought it was wonderful.


 * The character of Jim Schofield was played by Gordon Rollings, three years before he returned to the programme in the regular part of Charlie Moffitt.


 * For the 1962 character given the same name - an unusual move for the programme - see Jim Schofield (1962 character)
