Bill Webster bought Nº11 off Linda Cheveski acting on behalf
of her mother, Elsie Tanner. He also rented Len Fairclough's yard
off Rita Fairclough, and in the
process the widow and widower became very friendly. Bill's first
wife, Alison, had died of cancer in 1980. However, it was Percy Sugden's niece, Elaine
Prior, whom Bill fell for, and in January 1985 they married
and moved down to Southampton with Bill's daughter Debbie,
where Elaine opened a hair salon.
Sometime after this they moved to Germany, where Elaine had an
affair, and in July 1995 Bill realised their marriage was over,
and he moved back to England, turning up on the doorstep of his
son Kevin. Bill moved into Kevin's
whilst Sally (whom he had never
met) was away. To welcome his daughter-in-law home he cooked a
meal, and burned down their kitchen in the process. Fortunately,
he used his building skills to give Kevin & Sally a new kitchen.
Bill landed a job as cellarman at The Rovers, and also moved in
there.
In November Bill lost his job at The Rovers as the Duckworths
took over, and to make things worse, the next month he got a bill
for £1400 tax. He couldn't pay, and so Kevin & Sally
lent him the money - much to the annoyance of Rita
Sullivan who had given the Webster children £5,000.
Mike Baldwin asked Bill to do
some work at the Crimea Street flats; in return he wangled one
of the flats and got a business partner in the shape of Jim McDonald.
