Joan Davies Joan Davies ( née Walker ) was the daughter of Rovers Return Inn landlords Jack and Annie Walker . Born in Weatherfield in 1940 , Joan grew up in Coronation Street with her parents and older brother Billy . By 1961 , Joan was training to be a teacher . She graduated from college that year and married fellow teacher Gordon Davies in St . Thomas ' Church in March , whereupon the couple moved to Derby . Thereafter , much to the Walkers ' disappointment , Joan hardly ever visited them in Weatherfield , though Joan ' s house at 4 Peacock Drive in Derby was a frequent home away from home for Annie , especially after Jack ' s death from a heart attack in 1970 , which took place while he was visiting Joan . Annie found comfort in staying with Joan after her husband ' s death as it gave her someone to talk to and it got her away from the memories that lay in the Rovers . Joan had some reservations about her marriage to Gordon . In 1963 , during a visit to Weatherfield to attend Annie ' s ' This Is Your Life ' , Joan confessed to her parents that Gordon didn ' t want children and wouldn ' t let her go to work . Jack persuaded Joan to stand up to the Davies ' . As the Davies ' were quite well - to - do , Joan considered herself a cut above even her parents . She wasn ' t keen on the idea of Annie coming to live with her when brewery Newton & Ridley faced a takeover bid in 1978 , although Annie was against the idea anyway . Despite this , Annie eventually retired to Derby in 1983 , where she could be close to her family . She stayed with Joan until her death .
