“I’ll have a rum” Albert Tatlock 2nd left back row.

Front left Annie Walker , her husband Jack behind Ena Sharples. Next to Annie is Florrie Lindley who had the corner shop.
….bit of cheating, but hey ho.
The young lady sitting in front of Elsie Tanner is her daughter Linda (played by Anne Cunningham who is still alive, aged 87). Ida & Frank Barlow (Ken’s parents) are next to Minnie Caldwell on the back row. David Barlow (played by Alan Rothwell) is in the centre of the back row next to Jack Walker.
Elsie Lappin was the original corner shop owner and is attributed as saying the very first lines in the show, maybe behind Ken Barlow on the pic. Sitting next to Ken is his university girlfriend, Susan Cunningham. Martha Longhurst. Vera Lomax, )I guess that’s her on the right of the middle row. Christine Appleby on Ena’s left.
Harry Hewitt, extreme left with pipe. Esther Hayes and Lucy Hewitt are originals. May Hardman, maybe over Ken’s left shoulder. Leonard Swindley played by Arthur Lowe and Tony Booth were originals but I can’t see either on the pic. Concepta Riley is a familiar name, the original Rovers barmaid. The big bloke on the back row is Harry Bailey played by Ray Mort.

Ivan Cheveski between Albert and Dennis. Linda Tanner's bad boy hubby.
We used to have a 50p leccy meter and coal central heating until my teens. In fact I think they still had the coal abomination until I moved out.
Does that qualify me as old? Or just poor?

Why not both mate?
Growing up with central heating makes you one of the privileged
