Compton Street

Compton Street is a street in Weatherfield close to the high street.

In 2000, No.67 was occupied by a Mrs Stevenson who rung the newly established Street Cars to book a taxi to the hospital. Eileen Grimshaw took the call, having just been brought in to the taxi office by Vikram Desai after impressing him with her knowledge of local directions when he picked her up to take her to a separate job interview. Eileen proved her worth as a switchboard operator by taking the call and another from Yeovil Street and organising the fares.
