Dolly Hewitt (née Pegg) and her family were the first tenants of 3 Coronation Street in 1902. By the time Dolly and husband Samuel moved to Coronation Street, they already had four children - George, Thomas, Flo and Betsy. Dolly grew up alongside Sam as they lived next door to each other on the same tenement block on Barkers Lane. At fifteen, she was married and pregnant with her first child. Dolly first appeared in Daran Little and Bill Hill's "Weatherfield Life", published in 1992. Other information is derived from Little's follow-up book, "Around the Coronation Street Houses".
