Im not old enough to remember her in Corrie but I do remember her as the next door neighbour in the Royle family, always popping in for a chat with Barb

I really enjoyed what I saw of Concepta on the Network decades Corrie DVDs. Big sisterly but ballsy when needed.

It's strange to think she was 91. She's embedded in my mind as being around the age of 35-40, which I suppose was her age when she was on the show.
