in 1978, alf married renee bradshaw (madge hindle), who now owned the corner shop. theirs was an awkward courtship - alf withdrew his first proposal, telling renee that he had been drunk when he asked her - but when he proposed again, they married. the marriage seemed doomed from the start - alf punched renee's stepfather, joe hibbert, at the reception for suggesting that the only reason he had married renee was to get the corner shop. renee, however, made it clear that the shop was hers and alf should continue to work at the post office. after a lorry crashed into the pub in 1979, burying alf under tons of wood, the couple re-assessed their lives. they decided to buy a sub-post office in grange-over-sands in 1980 and renee took driving lessons. it was while learning to drive that renee stalled alf's car at a red traffic light in a country lane. while alf got out of the car to change places, a lorry coming the other way hit the car and renee was killed. alf, who had been drinking, was unharmed and later told ken barlow that he felt guilty as seconds before renee died, they were arguing about her driving and this was the last thing he ever said to her.
