NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

Where is Coronation Street filmed and can you visit the famous set?

Share this with

Coronation Street is the longest running television soap opera in the world – having aired over 11,200 episodes across the last 63 years, and serving up plenty of high drama during that time!

The ITV soap focusses on the lives and loves of the residents of Weatherfield, who mostly live on the eponymous Coronation Street and the surrounding area.

Over the years we’ve seen everything from train to tram crashes, explosions, murders, kidnappings, car crashes, robberies and shootings… the list is endless. One thing Corrie is best known for is its ability to seamlessly weave comedy through its tragedy.

It should be no surprise to learn that there are plenty of fans out there who’d love the opportunity to visit Weatherfield for themselves, or perhaps even stop off for a pint in the Rovers.

The question is – just where is the show filmed, where is it set, and can the public visit?

Where is Coronation Street filmed?

For the last 10 years, Coronation Street has been filmed at the show’s purpose-built production base in Trafford Park, Greater Manchester.

The 7.7 acre site is composed of six studios, where the show’s interior scenes are filmed, an ever-growing ‘backlot’ exterior set, and two production hubs which are for office use, dressing rooms, a mail room, props store, costume and makeup storage – and most importantly, the staff canteen!

There’s also a dedicated visitor experience (more on that later).

Before 54,000 cobbles were laid down at the new site, which is nearby to the MediaCity development, home of BBC and ITV in the North, the show was filmed for 53 years at the former Granada Studios in the Castlefield district of Manchester City Centre.

Corrie outgrew Granada’s facilities quite quickly. For the first eight years on air, the entirety of it was filmed inside of their second smallest studio, including all exterior scenes.

The houses were merely wooden façades, which were later erected outside in a yard in 1968. If you’ve ever visited Manchester before, you’ll know that the weather isn’t great – and they had to rebuild the houses in brick.

At this point, the viaduct (now home to the famous Bistro) was authentic, albeit unused. By 1982, they rebuilt the set again on a much grander scale, this time including Rosamund Street.

Where is Coronation Street based?

In 1995, Coronation Street creator Tony Warren said that the infamous street is ‘four miles in any one direction from Manchester .’

When planning the show before it hit our screens, he and designer Denis Parkin visited the Ordsall area of Salford and based the set design on the long-demolished Archie Street.

In more recent years, we’ve seen real life Salford locations replaced with fictional counterparts – for example, Salford Quays became Weatherfield Quays.

Some of the new Manchester @BeeNetwork signage now on the set of #Corrie 👀 pic.twitter.com/VCmTaQNgl1 — Shaun (@ShaunInBrum) April 29, 2024

Weatherfield has its own council, hospital and police force, yet Salford City Council bins adorn its set, and even the bus stop maps show it as part of the wider city.

A recent post on X/Twitter from a Corrie tour guide show the fictional tram stop, on Victoria Street, as being near to the main campus of Salford University.

Is the Granada Studios Tour still operative?

https://www.instagram.com/p/C3iP_5AoXen/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

In February, Peter Ash, who plays Paul Foreman, shared a sweet throwback pic of him visiting the Street with family in the late 80s .

Due to the popularity of their programmes, Granada Television launched their very own studios tour in 1988, which allowed fans to walk the hallowed cobbles. There was a variety of other attractions on site, including a New York themed street, a recreation of Downing Street and a 3D cinema.

It was an epic day out, with the star attraction being able to sup a pint of Newton and Ridley best bitter in a licensed replica of the Rovers Return. Using a chroma-key (green screen) back drop, you could also film your very own scene with Betty Turpin (Betty Driver) and Mike Baldwin (Johnny Briggs).

By 1999, following a disastrous installation of Skytrak, the world’s first flying roller coaster that very quickly was put out of operation, and amid falling visitor numbers, it was decided to close the GST.

This allowed ITV to expand the Coronation Street set again to include Victoria Street, and for the next fifteen years it was impossible to snap a selfie outside of The Kabin or pose in front of the factory.

However, with the soap relocating in 2014, it was decided to throw open the doors for one last hurrah before the studios were redeveloped.

Guests who visited prior to closure in December 2015 could tour dressing rooms, see famous props and costumes from across the years and walk around a studio, which featured a number of interior sets.

One of these was of course, the pub, and once again superfans could pretend to pull a pint before walking out onto the backlot set and exploring it to their heart’s content.

Can I visit the current Coronation Street studios?

You’re in luck – yes! As I mentioned earlier, a dedicated visitor experience has been built on site at the current studios, and is open to guests 7 days a week.

Be warned though, there are 3 separate experiences which vary in price, and in what you can see on the day. It’s also a completely different experience to the Granada Studios Tour, so if you popped by in the 90s or 10 years ago, you might want to check it out again.

Not only that, but last year the experience grew to include a cinema and exhibition.

Coronation Street Experience ticket differences

• £7.50 weekday experience: This includes access to the cinema and exhibition floor, where you can pose behind the bar of the Rovers Return and see costumes and props. There is also a gift shop and café on site.
• £35 to £38 weekend tour and experience: All of the above is included in this ticket, but you also get a guided tour of the show’s exterior backlot set, which isn’t open to visitors during the week.
• £55 weekend star tour and experience: If you fancy splashing the cash, you can do all of the above, plus meet a member of cast at the end of your tour for a selfie and an autograph.

If you plan on having a nosey at the set on a weekday, you’ll find that access to the backlot is off limits due to filming commitments. However, you can still watch a highlights reel of classic moments, plus marvel at old props and costumes from years gone by.

There’s also replicas of the Rovers Return, Roy’s Rolls and No. 9 Coronation Street, home to the Dobbs family.

Whilst no real beer will come out of the taps as you pretend to pull a pint, as the former duty manager of the experience, I can confirm that this is an avenue that operators Continuum Attractions have planned to explore for quite some time – so keep an eye out.

You’ll still get plenty of time for your pictures and to nosey through letterboxes though and some extra minutes on Coronation Street itself.

It should also be noted that the tours do not include access to the six interior studios, but some of the external buildings, such as Prima Doner, are actually used for filming and are open for visitors.

Tickets can be pre-booked on the Coronation Street Experience website .

Remember what I said about the Manchester rain? You should probably be prepared, weather wise, for things to change in a heartbeat. You’ll be on your feet for quite a long time, and over tough cobblestones, so remember to dress appropriately.

The final option, if you fancy adding a bit of showbiz sparkle to your weekends, are the star tours. You’ll get the full works for £55, plus a short meet and greet at the end with one of the cast members, who will pose for a photo and sign an autograph.

Play inspired by Windrush Scandal brings UK tour to Manchester

• Windrush Generation
• Saturday 22 June 2024 at 1:32pm

ITV News' Sam Taylor went to meet the cast and crew as they prepare for the final stop of their tour.

A play that tells the story of the Windrush Scandal from the perspective of a group of pensioners is being staged in Manchester .

The Windrush Warriors, which was written by and stars Coronation Street actor Nicola Gardner, is a "multi-ethnic comedy drama" that has toured the country telling the story of the Windrush generation.

Nicola said: "It’s an affectionate story about people in the autumn of their lives. The show is a life-affirming view of survivors; children of the Windrush generation. The Windrush scandal and its attendant hypocrisy is laid bare in this show.

"The show exposes the unfair predicament of people who having lived and worked in the UK for decades, are now heartlessly being shown that they are undesirable."

The Windrush generation are those who arrived in the UK from Caribbean countries between 1948 and 1973.

Many took up jobs in the NHS and other sectors affected by Britain’s post-war labour shortage.

It is called Windrush because a ship called The Empire Windrush brought one of the first large groups of Caribbean people to the UK on June 22, 1948.

At the time, the Caribbean was a part of the British commonwealth which meant those who arrived were automatically British subjects and free to permanently live and work in the UK.

But, the scandal began to surface in 2018 after it emerged, due to changes in the immigration system, thousands of Commonwealth citizens, many of whom were from the Windrush generation, were wrongly detained, deported and denied legal rights.

It was through talking to the people whose lives were upturned by the scandal that Nicola was inspired to write The Windrush Warriors.

Nicola said: "I spoke to them first hand and got their accounts, and that made me sit down and write this play."

The show's director, John Klark, added: "It’s been a real honour to bring those real life stories to the stage - this has happened to real people and it’s important to keep those stories alive and in the forefront of people’s minds."

The show features a diverse cast and crew, including Jewish, Irish, and Afro-Caribbean actors who all bring their lived experiences to the role.

Lukeland Chambers plays Brother Leroy, a "boisterous but fun" pensioner who arrived in the UK on the HMT Empire Windrush.

Lukeland said: "His job really is to rally the troops, keep everyone focused but also have fun while also supplying a lot of rum."

As the son of two members of the Windrush generation, Lukeland was able to draw on the experiences of his parents for the role.

He said: "They are the Windrush generation so I’ve often heard stories of how they were treated when they first arrived - so when I got the role it was a great reason to delve into that and use it for my character."

His fellow actor, Tommy C. Carey, was able to draw on his Irish heritage to relate to members of the Windrush generation.

He said: "As an Irish person, when we arrived in the 80s we weren’t really welcome… so for that reason I could really relate to the Windrush Generation."

The Windrush scandal and compensation scheme was introduced in April 2019, but five years on many have struggled to get the money they are entitled to.

Anthony Brown is a lawyer that represents and supports members of the Windrush Generation, and is also a founding member of Windrush Legal Defenders CIC in Moss Side .

He said: "A lot of trauma has taken place... The compensation scheme has been introduced but it's very confusing and a lot of people don't trust them."

However, Anthony Brown feels real progress is being made to right the wrongs of the Windrush scandal.

He said: "We’ve made a number of recommendations, but we’ve also realised that the community has faced detrimental factors in other areas such as education, health, art, and they all widen the disparity and add to the trauma.

"And we’ve found the Home Office is listening to that - and they are willing to work with communities up and down the country."

One of the recommendations the Windrush Legal Defenders CIC made to the Home Office involved encouraging art and theatre to help bring communities together and provide funding for projects like the Windrush Warriors.

Anthony said: "These communities have their own art, like Caribbean Carnival or sound systems, and that can bring people together. But we should also encourage things like plays and theatre to help tell our story both in and out of our communities."

The Windrush Warriors ends its UK tour at the International Anthony Burgess Foundation in Manchester with five performances between 25 - 29 June.

Windrush Day has been held on 22 June every year since 2018, to celebrate the contribution Caribbean migrants and their families have made to the UK
