Camera Shop Flat The Camera Shop Flat was a bedsit situated above Ernest Bishop ' s Camera Shop premises in Rosamund Street . Ernie usually kept the flat empty . In June 1969 , with the studio performing well , he decided to hire a caretaker and gave Ena Sharples first refusal , with the flat as accommodation . Ena accepted without hesitation , glad to leave the OAP maisonette in Coronation Street where she wasn ' t allowed to play her harmonium early in the morning . Ernie and Emily Nugent decorated the flat prior to Ena moving in , and at Ena ' s insistence had it inspected for rats . A check by Len Fairclough uncovered some defects , although Ernie got out of paying for the repairs by pretending to look for another caretaker . Ena ' s spell in the flat was one of her happier times . She lived there for just under two years , vacating the flat in May 1971 when she became caretaker at the Community Centre . The flat was vacant until January 1972 when Emily , running the shop for an absent Ernie , housed her ill Auntie May there and moved in to look after her . A month later , Emily booked her aunt into the Bluebells old folks ' home , and in April Emily and Ernie married and bought 3 Coronation Street . The bedsit remained empty until Ernie ' s business folded in July 1976 . List of appearances . 1969 1970 1971 1972
Ron Cooke Ronald " Ron " Cooke was a 45 - year - old draughtsman who responded to Maggie Clegg ' s advert in a newspaper personal column in August 1972 . In his letter , Ron told Maggie that he admired her for taking the initiative and left his phone number for Maggie to contact him if she wished . Unbeknown to Ron , Maggie ' s ad was actually placed there by shop assistant Norma Ford on a misguided attempt to lift a lonely Maggie ' s spirits . When Maggie found out , she was deeply embarrassed and threatened Norma with the sack . Norma read Ron ' s letter while checking on Maggie ' s replies and persuaded Maggie to let her read it out to her . Although her feelings on the matter hadn ' t changed , Maggie could see that Ron was speaking from the heart and agreed to phone him . Ron was delighted that Maggie had contacted him and called at the Corner Shop later that day . Ron and Maggie spent the next few days getting to know each other . They learned that they were both shy and lonely and that they enjoyed each other ' s company . As Ron didn ' t drink while they were together , Maggie got the impression that Ron was teetotal but he admitted to her that he was actually an alcoholic . Also , Ron credited Maggie for lifting him out of his slump for that brief time and so he asked her for help . Ron ' s story was all too familiar to Maggie as she had been married to violent alcoholic Les Clegg for more than twenty years , and having recently divorced Les , she wasn ' t prepared to put herself through it all again and so she turned down Ron ' s request and he left the area . In June 1974 , Ron passed through Weatherfield on business before going to Zaire for a job . While in Weatherfield , he encountered Maggie again and informed her that he had stayed sober since his last visit . Ron ' s re - appearance threw a spanner in the works in Maggie and Alf Roberts ' s relationship , as Alf had proposed to Maggie on the same day that she met up with Ron again . On hearing the news through Rita Littlewood , Ron decided to step aside and leave Weatherfield right away , but he had a change of heart at the airport and went back and proposed to Maggie himself . Maggie accepted his proposal and they set the date for 10th July , arranging to move to Zaire for Ron ' s new job immediately afterwards . Due to Les ' s history with alcohol , Maggie decided not to tell her son Gordon Clegg that Ron had been an alcoholic but Gordon found out anyway when Alf revealed it to him . Gordon then confronted Ron who won him over with his devotion to Maggie and convinced him that he had beat the bottle . Ron and Maggie then made it to the altar in St . Mary ' s Church and moved to Zaire as planned . Later that year , Ron paid for return flights to Manchester for Maggie as a Christmas present . Ron had died by 2003 , when Betty Williams explained to Shelley Unwin that her sister was once again a widow .
