The curlers, headscarf and pinny worn by Coronation Street battleaxe Hilda Ogden have sold for £4,200 at auction.

The auction was organised by the family of actress Jean Alexander, who died last year, and included many of her personal items including her acting awards and a book given to her by Sir Laurence Olivier.

The pinny, headscarf and curlers were synonymous with Hilda, who wore them from the first time she appeared on the soap in 1964 until her last episode in 1987.
