On Thursday 2nd April 2015, I went to Manchester for a tour of the old Coronation Street set.
Opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1982, this set is the show’s longest-lasting with filming there only coming to an end on 20th December 2013, after 31 years.
Less than five months later it was re-opened as a tourist attraction, allowing fans of the show to walk in the footsteps of the endless number of famous characters that have graced the street over the years.
