28b Fern Street was a flat owned by Neville Ashworth. In December 2008, Neville rented the flat to Frankie Osborne and Newt, after they moved out of The Dog in the Pond. The pair moved out, and Darren Osborne moved in with lodger Loretta Jones. Loretta moved out when Darren's wife, Hannah Ashworth moved in in 2009, but Hannah left when she and Darren split. Cindy Hutchinson and her daughter, Holly Cunningham, moved in following her split with her husband, Tony Hutchinson. Rhys Ashworth and Duncan Button moved in after being made homeless, and Darren moved out a few weeks later. Rhys's girlfriend, Jacqui McQueen, moved in following an argument with her family, and Rhys's friend, Gilly Roach, also moved in after an argument with the Osbornes. Jacqui later moved out after she and Rhys split, but they reconciled and married, and Jacqui moved back in. Gilly ended up moving out and he left the village. Jacqui invited Lynsey Nolan to move in, and she accepted.
Lynsey became targeted by serial killer Silas Blissett in October 2011, and Silas broke into the house. He gave Lynsey the choice to either live her life, being seen as a liar, or five minutes and everything would be over. Lynsey agreed for Silas to kill her if he handed herself in, but realised that Silas was going to trick her and she smashed a vase over his head before making her escape.
Lynsey ended up moving back in with her friend, Cheryl Brady, in 2012. Jacqui & Rhys adopted Phoebe Jackson in 2012, and she moved in, but the trio moved out in June 2012 when Jacqui's mum, Myra McQueen, was sent to prison. The trio moved back in, but ended up leaving again after a pipe burst in the flat. Theresa McQueen, Joel Dexter and Kathleen-Angel McQueen ended up squatting in the flat. Mercedes McQueen and Paul Browning ended up moving into the flat after Rhys died in November 2012, but Mercedes went missing in Las Vegas and Paul moved out. The Kane family ended up moving in, but a few months later, Callum Kane was fatally stabbed with a samurai sword by Jade Hedy. The flat was destroyed when Sinead Shelby, one of the occupants of 28a Fern Street, unintentionally brought a bomb into the flat, which was detonated by Clare Devine who had intended to explode The Loft. Ash Kane, as well as Doug Carter and Leanne Holiday were killed in the blast.
The flats were demolished in January 2014, in which Joe Roscoe had been trapped inside by Grace Black. However, Joe was later found and he made a full recovery.
