David Denton was the husband of Susan Denton, who purchased 5 Buxton Close from Brian and Gail Tilsley in October 1983.
The Tilsleys had lived in Buxton Close for the past three years, and were forced to sell their family home and move back in with Brian's parents at 5 Coronation Street when his garage business was on the brink of collapse. The sale of the house would help to support the business.
The house was valued by estate agent Mr Pollard, and first-time buyers David and Susan were keen to snap up the one bedroom house for the asking price of £18,500. The Tilsleys moved out on 17th October.
