The secrets behind the iconic set
For decades, Coronation Street was filmed in Manchester city centre - before its production relocated and its iconic set was demolished.
From its first episode until 1968, the complete set of Coronation Street was contained in one studio - both interiors and exteriors. This meant the houses were smaller in scale - at three-quarters the size of a regular home. This meant that for the very first time, natural light could be used to illuminate the outdoor scenes instead of studio lamps. A year later, the new street was constructed but was still smaller in scale. But at least the pavements and cobbles were now real, even if they did run diagonally down the street.
The previous set at Granada Studios, used between 1982 and 2013, was made up primarily of two indoor stages for filming interior shots and an exterior set for outside filming. The permanent street was built out of reclaimed Salford brick and roof slates for an authentic look. However, the buildings lacked interior walls and the chimneys were made of fibreglass due to the lack of structural support for brick ones.The Granada Studios Tour was closed on a Monday as this was the day the set was used for filming. The interior of the buildings were also used as offices for the show's writers or had props stored inside.
