I never watch 'Coronation Street' now but did back in 1970 and despite the houses not being built full scale I adored the first brick built set, especially loved the gap in the row of houses (where number 7 had once stood), loved the park bench in the gap, I think the faded paint and broken windows in the viaduct added something to the feel of the whole Street, and a gap in the row made the street unique. Is there anyone else who loved the first brick built set?

Yes - me!! Saw it a few times through the grille in the gates on Grape Street: absolutely tiny!

@@johntomlinson6849 yes, I can imagine it was, I read somewhere once you'd have had to have been a match stick man to have lived in one of the houses! I remember there was no chimneys on the roof, but still my favourite outdoor set. Soaps were real family shows then, was allowed to watch it religiously then, also loved 'Emmerdale Farm', but 'Crossroads' was my favourite of the three soaps. Loved Noele Gordon's Meg Richardson, and the horizontal and vertical closing credits, (achieved by using two ATV cameras). Lovely to hear you have seen the 'Coronation Street' outdoor set via the grape street gates.

Thanks for sharing, very interesting and sad. but at the same time full of happiness and joy.

Thank you so much from Canada! Loved these specials.

Thank you to whoever found this show in 1960s

16:03 - 16:11 you can see the old grape street set above the bonded warehouse, top right and the quay street set under construction below the bonded warehouse. so the film was taken in 1981

So much ❤ for each other and their legendary series.

Year I was born, grew up watching corrie, cup of tea, love watching these classic episode,s❤ xxx

been waiting for this on youtube for ages, thanks for posting odd that on the image of archie street at 8:43 the 3rd house from the shop is lighter given that's technically number 9 which has brighter stone cladding

Wonderful documentary, I have been very lucky to have visited both sites, pure magic, can’t wait till covid is over and we can travel again

Corrie lost it's heart when it moved from Granada it's not been the same since.

I agree, it's just not the same anymore, the feel and heart of all the past characters was there, even if corrie was having a poor period with bad storylines and characters you could still see and feel the golden years and it helped to still accept the show for what it once was, now with the new site it just feels very manufactured and false, it's definitely lost its heart and soul now its left granada.

Yes, the producers post-millennium definitely missed a trick: The tendency in the digital age has been to always try to pander to younger generations, but most of them no longer even bother to watch conventional TV. The real money is held by the older folks and they have a deep passion for notalgia - Corrie should have made them their target audience and left the fast-paced, over-sexualised, ulta-violent unrealistic nonsense to other programmes. Like pretty much everything in modern British life, Corrie used to be better. Much, much better.

That piece of music at 22:00 is Einaudi. My wifes favourite music. It brings a tear to my eyes hearing it being played in a show that has been in my heart for nearly 40 years

Thanks for this, very interesting. Was lucky enough to get a tour round the old set in 2014 before it was bulldozed. Probably around that time i stopped watching it- load of rubbish now. Far too many characters , stupid storylines and most of all completely lost it's humour!

The best ever

I went pass it heading to the Trafford's shopping centre this year

Everyone should welcome new changes within the new Coronation Street because scenes of suggested psychology is the way forward to contribute to society.

Coronation street was superb for the first 30 years. Then it got silly with awful actors and dreadful storylines

Agreed. I saw an episode once from the 1960s written by the playwright Jack Rosenthal -and it showed. Ever since then however it's been condescending crap

31:13, what happens when you forget the viewfinder is NOT the lens wonder if they every figured out why they got a photo of the door

24:34 It's like seeing the munchkins from The Wizard of Oz smoke.

I feel the move could prove the death knell for the show. I've rarely watched since the tram crash, as I feel the stories have gone downhill. The new influx of characters hold no interest for me, and how much longer are the likes of Bill Roache, Anne Kirkbride, Eileen Derbyshire, Helen Worth, Sue Nicholls and Barbara Knox likely to continue? The veterans had their best storylines years ago.

If cornation st started 5 or 10 yrs ago it would be scrapped now

IIRC they would later block it sometime soon as its ITV.com as they've did it with the Corrie/ED episodes in its entirety.

They must have loved Betty Williams-there are pictures of her all over.

does anyone know the song at 1:27

Interesting but sad to think they used to have some great actors and then you see the person that plays Tina is actually no different to her character, therefore being paid a wage just to be herself. No acting skills there.

dont get why they are saying there were 5 street sets not 4 1, studio 2 grape street 3. quay street 4. media city
