The unnamed Workman was employed by Alfred Wormold to erect a "For Sale" sign outside 5 Coronation Street in October 1976 which altered residents to the fact that Minnie Caldwell had moved on from Weatherfield. Despite questioning from Hilda Ogden, he was unable to give any further details. Less than a month later, Ray Langton saw him put a "Sold" sign over the original, just as he was on his way to put in an offer. The workman was unable to give him any details as to who the buyer was who had beaten him to the house. Soon afterwards he found out that it was Mike Baldwin.
