Coronation Street | Abandoned set exploration

[@alexacameron1465]

i love this truly inspiring and the edits with the scenes really helps to captivate the wonderful moments created within the set all those years. :)

[@hardcoresetscom]

tysm ☺️

[@adamfearon9165]

I loved watching this, me and my partner have been watching corrie from the very start recently and it makes me emotional seeing all the history and iconic scenes that have been filmed here and the history that was made, stan & hilda, jack & Vera, bet lynch and all the icons. Lucky enough to visit this set years back and wish I could of understand back then it's importance to my mums generation. Such a comfort to go back and revisit old episodes

[@mustarddoctor]

The very start? That's gonna be one hell of a watch

[@hardcoresetscom]

Agreed, love watching old episodes!

[@paulinepickering8151]

This was brilliant very nostalgic 😢😊❤ thanks for taking the time...all the old characters...Alfie Roberts...takes me back to happier times when mum and dad were younger and mum wasnt ill ❤

[@hardcoresetscom]

Thanks Pauline... same here! Good times watching Corrie with my mum 😊

[@JHC_76]

Hearing Deirdre’s voice made me tear up. I’ve grown up on Coronation Street. Also hearing all the old characters voices memories ❤

[@hardcoresetscom]

Same ❤️ I heard Anne Kirkbride was a lovely lady too

[@JanUK26]

Why don't you watch the classic on ITV 3, it's on Monday to Friday from 2.50pm or catch up on ITVX, also classic Emmerdale and Heartbeat! 😁

[@DaveRoddy-v1p]

​@@JanUK26 I love watching the classics, I don't bother watching the new ones anymore, but the classics i love

[@IngenerateIngenue]

Visited the old Granda set before it moved. Whilst stood gawping outside, we saw 'Cilla' walking towards the studio, passed right by us and had a gorgeous perfume on! Then about 5 minutes later, 'Tommy' exited the 'Street'. They were the only 2 actors we saw. 😊

[@samisticlife]

Remember going to the tour when it was here

[@everydaylife2022]

Good to hear Jim Mc so it is, great video, thank you for sharing

[@hardcoresetscom]

Cheers, gotta love a bit of Jim McD

[@mistofoles]

The upstairs rooms over the houses were used as production offices / Meeting offices. Occasionally, one of the actors would stick their heads out of an upstairs window to give the illusion they were in the bedroom.

[@landofnor]

Thanks for taking the time to film this and post it. I was there in 2014 I think for the one of the final tours of the old set. Inceridibly sad to see how it's looking so derelect in your footage. I noticed the post box lying on the ground towards the end of the video. Where was this in relation to its original postion outside the Kabin? I wonder what happened to this box? Do you know? The new set got the same identical type of post box and it's originally from St Anne's PO in Lytham St.Annes. The box in the new set still has the post box number of FY8 4 on its plate.

[@murphycreationsvideos]

I went there in 2023 and i couldn't believe how small it was. It's now a carpark with only the community center building still standing and the red brick embankment. The backdrop picture of the next street is also still there although now faded.

[@hardcoresetscom]

Same! The former medical centre building is a Victorian stables block which also housed the hospital set and some prison sets too. Hopefully it will remain there for a long time to come.

[@debndavid]

When coronation Street was worth watching

[@JanUK26]

It would be great to see this set turned into an actual living street.

[@DOSeater]

like Brookside

[@hardcoresetscom]

Totally! Long since demolished though 😔

[@mrlardster]

​With brookside they were real houses that they filmed in with proper interiors, plumbing and electrics, with coronation street they were just props with no proper interiors, plumbing or electrics, all the interiors you see on Coronation street were and still are studio sets ​@@DOSeater

[@paulinepickering8151]

Really​@@hardcoresetscom

[@jazmorrison9030]

You do know when the new set got made at media city has tours of Corrie

[@hobobird]

Sad how it was all just left to rot😢

[@Stevecool1967-lo2gq]

its really very sad to see it like that.

[@Stevecool1967-lo2gq]

thats really sad to watch.thinking about all the famous people that worked on that famous street over the years from betty turpin, to albert tatlock, to bet lynch.its even sadder for me as ive been there when granda did studio tours.time moves on i suppose.

[@derekhart3308]

At first I thought was camera guys talking then I realised it was the voices of the old cast 😂

[@Ishallnotquit777]

You forgot to include Jack & Vera.

[@anthonygarbutt3772]

Anything left from the tour?

[@hardcoresetscom]

The Bistro and Medical Centre buildings are still standing :)

[@marcochelotti5495]

It's like walking into a post apocalyptic world.

[@hardcoresetscom]

Yeah was pretty surreal, cheers for watching

[@shariwynne9210]

I remember every scene played. What a beautiful tribute. It's a travesty it was demolished.

[@hardcoresetscom]

Agreed :(

[@angiedougan]

I can still hear bet ❤

[@dh2032]

Wonder who the red pilor post box is, as just post is valuable before starting to stick the one off Coronation Street, and its one that all the classic street characters have interacted with while filming the show?

[@hardcoresetscom]

Sure is. It lay on the garage floor for a while but looks like it probably ended up in the skip, unless someone saved it!

[@shaunwalley]

And the best actor award go's to, the doors and windows, with cameo's from the shrubs and bushes.

[@Realsuperdoctor3]

shame they have abandoned this it's television history that was made there, they could have turned it into a museum with wax works from Tussauds also a television theme park.

[@hardcoresetscom]

They tried a TV theme park in the 90s but it failed. Agreed though - it is a shame 🥹

[@danisouto6690]

would make a great walking dead scene....last time i saw walking dead Daryl n Carol were making there way through the channel tunnel

[@aerial558]

The whole site was sold to a developer and it was pulled down and was not abandon?

[@GeorgiePotter]

Coronation Street hasn't been the same programme since it left Quay Street and moved to Trafford the show is just far fetched misery now.

[@mickwillis6981]

I doubt that has anything to do with the location.

[@Pauls2006]

Like Eastenders has been for yrs, loved Corry as a kid still at my Mams, not now.

[@moodyguymick]

What do you expect from a complete and utter woke fest ?

[@pauline6005]

I think its great. Talks about hard storylines that are relevant. That could possibly help someone. Instead of burying our heads in the sand

[@hardcoresetscom]

@@pauline6005 Agreed!

[@shirleywilliams4901]

I went on the coronation street tour back in about 1998 stan ogdens grave was there

[@hardcoresetscom]

Yeah, just behind the bookies as you first enter I think? Judy Mallett's one was still floating around when the set was abandoned too - it was real stone (like Stan's I think) so wouldn't have been easy for someone to just 'walk off' with... makes me wonder where the headstones are now!

[@shirleywilliams4901]

@hardcoresetscom thank you I thought I imagined it

[@mistofoles]

I think the voiceover with Liz and Jim was from the episode where Jim kicked Vernon's head in ( So he did ).

[@hardcoresetscom]

That's the one, so it is

[@andymcnab2.0]

So much years of character, its a shame its been left for nature to take hold.

[@mistofoles]

Not to spoil things, but the actual interiors of the houses were prop sets based in the adjacent Studio 1 block.

[@hardcoresetscom]

That's right - along with Stage 2 on the other side. A few interiors were/are on the street itself though (e.g. the bookies set) as I'm sure you know :)

[@ExploringWithLucy]

Is it still there

[@hardcoresetscom]

Long gone, Lucy - sorry. Was demolished in 2018

[@robertodiniro6819]

Shame its abandoned 😞

[@hardcoresetscom]

Yeah, most of it long gone now :(

[@farmertrg]

HOLLY SHIT!!!! It didnt look like this when I drove my truck down there :S

[@hardcoresetscom]

When? Why? How?!

[@scorm3088]

I thought it got demolished

[@vibes4824]

this was filmed in 2017 before it had

[@abigailagnew8852]

have you seen the old abandond farm of the old holyoaks set breda mqueens pig farm

[@LOVE2RC]

That's the whole point in the description read it.

[@FredForeman28]

Do u have fb?

[@hardcoresetscom]

No, just IG

[@stephenplatt2078]

They could, have done something with the Street, instead of Pulling it Down, Stephen.

[@melina001a]

Pretty sure it was all torn down with granada studio tours all gone to redevelopment

[@hardcoresetscom]

Yep all gone now!

[@alexandertebbiche6061]

Why do things and places like these have to go to waste?! they should be maintained everytime to try and stop them from going down hill like this

[@hardcoresetscom]

Yeah it's a shame, although admittedly I do quite like the decay 🫢

[@krazypizza1163]

👍🏻

[@pikeflowed]

They should film the next THE LAST OF US zombie apocalypse series/show here ! ;)

[@Irishgui83]

It looks fitting for the age we currently live in - welcome to post Brexit/Tory Britain. They've left the country in tatters.
