Auction for icon Hilda’s apparel
THE curlers, headscarf and pinny worn by Coronation Street battleaxe Hilda Ogden are set to go under the hammer.
The items will be sold at auction by the family of actress Jean Alexander, who died last year.
The sale will also include many of Alexander’s personal items, including her teddy bear, acting awards and a book given to her by Sir Laurence Olivier.
A spokeswoman for auctioneers Outhwaite and Litherland said: “Jean was loved by millions of people all over the world as Aunt Hilda. She was even big in Australia, so we are expecting interest from all over.”
The sale will take place at the Royal Clifton Hotel, Southport, on May 17.
