Joe Gladwin (January 22, 1906 - March 11, 1987) was a British actor born in the Ordsall district of Salford, Lancashire. He was baptised at Mount Carmel RC Church, Ordsall and educated at the parish school.
Joe Gladwin appeared in British television since the 1960s, some notable appearances include Z Cars, Dixon of Dock Green and The Artful Dodger. He also had two long running roles in television sitcoms, first as the myopic delivery driver Stan Hardman in Nearest and Dearest from 1968 to 1973 and also as Wally Batty in Last of the Summer Wine from 1975 to 1986.
Joe Gladwin died on Wednesday, March 11th, 1987 at the age of 81.
It's not generally known, but Joe was a great fan of Salford Amateur Operatic Society, and used to sneak in the auditorium when the lights had gone down, sitting at the back. Then, at the end of the show before lights-up, he would be on his way out of the theatre. I personally bumped into him when I was working on sound for South Pacific at the Lancastrian Hall in Swinton, Lancs. I just said 'hello' and he replied 'aye, lad' and that was it, all over in about 5 seconds! He was one of the best and I always liked him in Last Of The Summer Wine. May his soul rest in peace.
I have this memory of Joe when he was straight man to a number of famous comedians back in the days of variety, before television took over. Nowhere does this seem to be mentioned in the material I am finding. Anyway,God bless you Joe. You were wonderful.
Family friend
Though I never knew Joe Gladwin, he was a great friend to my father, Edward Christopher Hernon.
Dad spoke of Joe with great delight and warm memories and always enjoyed hearing of his career success.
I made a point of seeing these re-runs of Mr Gladwin's performances and I can see why he was such a success. He seemed such a natural actor in each role.
All the best to his family.
FOR YOU JOE.XXX

Try to imagine what its like
When i see you all below
I miss you all so much
This you surely know
★★ ★★ ★★ ★★ ★★ ★
Try to imagine my pain
When i see those tears you cry
If only you knew the beauty
Of my home up in the sky
★★ ★★ ★★ ★★ ★★ ★
Try to imagine the day
When we will all be together
God calls us all back
And we will be apart not ever.
