Unable to provide for his family , Betty ' s husband cleared off , leaving the boys with her . Betty and her sons ended up living in a basement off Rochdale Road for 25 bob a week , with Betty taking whatever casual work she could get and keeping the boys off school to avoid the risk of the council putting them in care . The family turned up in Coronation Street after being thrown out of their Rochdale Road home . Inhabiting the parlour of No . 3 which had lain empty since Frank Barlow moved out in 1964 , the Lawsons kept their presence hidden from the neighbours and only left and entered the house through the back door . They managed to conceal themselves for four days before Ena and Jerry found them . The pair had entered the house with landlord Alfred Wormold ' s permission to clean the property in preparation for the " Best Kept Street " competition . Dirty , ragged and browbeaten , Betty presented a pitiful sight to their visitors , and Ronnie and Clifford even more so . To protect her sons , Betty explained her circumstances to Ena and Jerry and asked them not to shop her to the council . The pair disapproved , with Ena being particularly scathing of Betty not sending her sons to school and Clifford not being able to read , but were unable to decide how to proceed and informed Len Fairclough , Ken Barlow and Stan Ogden .

Covering up the fact that he was a councillor , Len pretended to be from the Weatherfield cricket team and offered to get in touch with friends to help the family , assuring Betty that they wouldn ' t be separated . The nod of approval from Len gave Betty the confidence to show herself to the rest of the neighbours . Some , such as Minnie Caldwell and Valerie Barlow , were sympathetic and made donations to the Lawsons , of a rocking chair and kitchenware in the former case and money for shopping in the latter , with Irma Barlow going halves with Val after initially refusing Betty credit . However , others including Hilda Ogden wanted rid of the family while Ken , although sympathetic , believed that they were the welfare ' s responsibility and asked Len as his councillor to have them removed . Things appeared to be looking up when a good samaritan posted £1 through the Lawsons ' letterbox , allowing Betty to splash out at the Corner Shop , but shortly afterwards the family received a visit from Mr Fitch from the health department , Miss Simpson from the children ' s department and a policeman who forcibly moved them on having been told about them by Len . The family were driven off just as the judges arrived for the " Best Kept Street " competition , but need not have created an unfavourable impression were it not for Hilda Ogden telling judge Mrs Delamere the whole story .
