Harry Flagg was a Rovers cleaner and cellarman between 2002 and 2004. A cleaner by profession, Harry gained employment at the Rovers when he commented on the state of the pub to landlord Fred Elliott, and was later taken on in the same role at Underworld.
Mourning the death of his 18-year-old daughter Catherine from leukaemia, Harry was an affable presence behind the bar. In 2004, he bought the Croppers' campervan and went travelling around Europe, with Eileen Grimshaw turning down an opportunity to go with him.
Biography[]
 |
Harry worked at Manchester Airport for over twenty years as a cleaner, including a long stint in the VIP suite. Having visited the Rovers Return Inn and commented on how "unclean" it appeared, Harry agreed to clean it for a few pints of beer and £10. Having made such a good job of it, landlord Fred Elliott took him on full-time. Soon Harry became potman and cellarman. He also cleaned at Underworld for Mike Baldwin, saving businessman Preston King from a heart attack at one point. He clashed with Frankie Baldwin when her husband Danny took over as a shareholder in Underworld, she teased him and labelled him 'Half Mast' referring to his surname.
Harry eventually left Weatherfield to drive around the sights of Europe. He offered Eileen Grimshaw the chance to come with him, but she declined.
