Thanks for this. I can't understand why this is not preserved as a tourist attraction. Iconic TV. I spend most of my viewing time on youtube now but I did grow up loving this show.

[@geoffcurrie5508]

In the grounds of the Granada building stood the original Coronation street set. I was driving past once and the large gate was opened and to my surprise there it was. So a couple of weeks later (about 1978-9) I took one of my employees , who was mad keen on Coro to see it. I hadn't told her where we were going, and when we got there the gate was shut. so I parked, got out and gave her a foot up. She looked over the top of the gate and she shouted with absolute delight. I will always remember that moment!!!

[@gibbonduder182]

The building you went inside where you got caught was originally part of the Coronation Street Experience (when the studio tour was still open). It was a replica of the 60's Rovers set which showed a movie and then revolved around where they opened shutters to reveal the Street itself. Then you were allowed walk up & down the street as much as you wanted. Nice to see inside and behind some of the buildings which you totally couldn't reach back in the day.

I used to work for the company that bought Granada studios and was given a full tour around it. As a Manc I loved the history, from the transmission room in the main office building to the rat run under the arches, the bonded warehouse (Which is where the old Granada lights were kept!) and the light rail that brought coal in to the studios and of course, the outdoor set of Corry, even got to see the sound stages with the interior sets and the music studio where that iconic soundtrack was recorded. I managed to see it all. I count myself very lucky to be where I was at the time before it all got torn down, memories that will stick with me for a long long time.

[@michaelobrien9825]

I personally would agree, but times move on unfortunately.

[@kenstevens5065]

I'm showing my age but remember seeing the first episode with many of the original cast in December 1960. What were then called kitchen sink dramas were all the rage in the cinema of the late 1950's and early 1960's showing working class life as it was, warts and all. It was an important time in our history when we shrugged off our old Victorian and Edwardian past and the hardship of two world wars. I think Coronation St was the first venture of such a production to the small screen, TV ownership was just taking off in 1960. Who thought Coronation St would still be going over sixty years later. Thanks Tony Warren and the Granada TV team for what you gave us. Thanks as well Urban Collective for this video, as you suggest it is preserving a piece of our history. Keep up the good work.

I loved coming here as a child. I can’t remember exactly but I apparently even read a part of the news or something while there.

[@colinlyne]

I have quite an attachment to this place! As a newspaper photographer, I covered the opening of this set by the Queen in 1982, and later visited it again for various photocalls, including Tony Blair’s visit to the Rovers. I have a photograph of him taken with some of the cast. More interestingly for me, is the fact that when Granada opened in about 1955, and my uncle, applied for a job as a qualified carpenter. My uncle was responsible for the construction of the first Coronation Street set ( indoors), which was to start the long running series. I have spent many good times ( photo shoots) there, but have never visited Media City.

[@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt]

Quality stuff thanks for sharing yo history m8.

[@richardmoores]

I thought this set was when the show first started. Did it not?

[@colinlyne]

I cannot remember the original set, but what I refer to was the “rebuild” of the street, as I say, in 1982, at Granada TV’s studios in Quay Street Manchester. The Queen also visited the newly reopened Liverpool Road railway station, which was, in effect, in the same complex!

Remember taking a group from our works to do the Granada Studio's tour in the early 90s, also the Victorian Street used in Sherlock Homes amongst other things and Check Point Charlie. Inside was the a permanent set of the House of Commons, used in the New Statesman amongst other things. I noticed was that the doors and windows on many of the buildings on Coronation St were wider than your typical UK door and set up so they coukd be easily removed I guess to allow them to more easily move equipment and props through and to allow camera filming angles through them.

[@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt]

@@SarahsUKGraveyard Thank you very much m8 I really appreciate it. I have one you recognise here too being from Oldham ;( Its the old prudential assurance building that also house a basement night club which was called Holly City Zoo. It's still one of the most stunning derelict buildings Ive seen m8. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZbamKGumLVqaNU

I still vividly remember going with my junor school to the granada studios experience and your back in i think 1994 and 1995. We walked on the street right there, I remember getting the autographs of several cast members and being amazed that I was walking down the same street I had seen so often on my tv. We couldnt go inside the Rovers return as the set was fully licensed to sell beer to adult visitors and acted as an actual functioning but albeit small pub. It's a shame to see it in such disrepair, the whole studio tour was amazing with so much more than just Coronation street 8ncluding he victorian london themed Sherlock Holmes set and an aliens themed sit down scifi horror ghost trainesqe ride.

[@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt]

Yeah it was great wasn't it I went there myself and on all the rides do you remember a giants house you could walk around or is it just me lol

Sad to see the old coronation street set in such disrepair what would Ina Sharples make of it all, so many good actors made their names on the cobbles of old set 😔 thanks for sharing.

[@utbdoug]

The best bit about this is that the size of the houses on the Rover's side of the street are tiny. Great work getting in unmolested as well!

[@richiehoyt8487]

I don't know which 'iteration' of the set it was, but I remember reading that the 'houses' (mostly shells and facades) were actually two - thirds of 'life size'.

[@roryboytube]

We had a similar experience getting into the old ATV studios in Birmingham after it was abandoned. part of the old Crossroads sets were still there and the Golden Shot studio. All derelict and abandoned but full of TV ghosts. Now it's the Crowne Plaza hotel 😢
