Harry Hewitt was a resident of Coronation Street from 1921 to 1964. He grew up in the Street, and, with wife Lizzie and their daughter Lucille, they were the second successive generation of Hewitts to inhabit No.7. On a return visit to Weatherfield in 1967 to attend Elsie and Steve Tanner's wedding, Harry was killed when he was crushed while repairing a van.
