[@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!!!

[@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt]

Hahaaa mint m8 this is that set you know as well tha ks for your history m8

[@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.

[@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt]

[@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.

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.

[@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!

[@alunstone]

They should have kept the studio tours going. Some people would still pay to see it like this lol .Interesting to see the houses didn't have upstairs. Thanks for uploading it .

You are right, the studio behind the green door would have been the old hospital set...I( note the RESUC 1 sign on the interior door. )

I opened a motorcycle pannier on a motorbike that someone had brought back to Australia from England. The stale rotting air smell brought back memories of visiting a few years before. Not surprising when you think how many millions of people have died there over the years. My ancestors too, by the thousands.

i cant understand why they find it such a big issue with people snooping around, the set looks like its been forgotten about for years i cant see why they dont just let pepole walk around it and clear out anything harmful and take away the items they fear will get nicked lol, also the rovers looked well small in your video amazing what trickery cameras can do looks big when your watching a episode or two. good tour though thanks.

[@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt]

Cheers Andy the one thing I regret about my older vids is the unsteadiness of the camera but we did have some good adventures!
