Peter Adamson Peter Adamson ( 16th February , 1930 - 17th January , 2002 ) was a British actor best known for his portrayal of the womanising hard man Len Fairclough in " Coronation Street " from 1961 to 1983 . He had made his theatre debut in 1948 and the year after joined the Fortesque Players in Bury . For five years he acted and produced weekly melodramas , forming his own company in 1954 and producing summer shows in Weston - Super - Mare . His initial television roles were for Granada in " Skyport " and " Knight Errant " before first appearing in " Coronation Street " in February 1961 . After twenty - two years of being one of the programme ' s most popular and recognisable performers , Peter ' s " Street " career was threatened by his arrest in April 1982 for allegedly indecently assaulting two 8 - year old girls in a Lancashire swimming pool . Producer Bill Podmore stood by him , Granada supported his defence financially , and in July 1983 he was found not guilty . However , Peter had been previously suspended by Podmore for writing articles and giving interviews to the press that criticised his fellow cast members , and the producer sacked Adamson for breach of contract after learning that he had sold his memoirs to a tabloid newspaper . Len Fairclough was killed off the programme in December 1983 in an off - screen car accident , and in a deliberate attempt to demonize the character played by the controversial Adamson , it was revealed that Len had died returning home from his mistress , cheating on screen wife Rita Fairclough . Peter Adamson had become a hard drinker , perhaps stemming from constant financial troubles , during his time on the " Street " , and was suspended from the programme over it in 1969 . Years after his sacking , Peter appeared to confess his guilt over the 1982 swimming pool incident in a rambling , possibly drunken , interview with a " Sun " reporter , although he always maintained that there was no sexual intent . Adamson ' s wife passed away in 1984 , and in 1991 he declared himself bankrupt , thanks in large part to high legal bills from his 1983 court case that Granada wouldn ' t pay after his sacking . Peter died of stomach cancer in Lincoln in 2002 . External links . Telegraph Online Obituary
