Albert Tatlock character jug produced by Carlton Ware in 1986. Albert Tatlock is a fictional character from the British soap opera "Coronation Street", played by Jack Howarth. The character became something of a cultural icon, so much so that grumpy older men were sometimes nicknamed Albert Tatlock. A veteran of World War I, Albert settled back into civilian life by marrying and starting a family. However, his wife Bessie died in 1959 and he retired from his job at the Town Hall the following year, before taking up a new occupation as the street's resident grumpy old man, forever complaining about the struggles of old age and living on the low income from his pension.
