My dream has been to see set of Coronation Street, to stand in front of Rovers Return door. I have been searching frantically to find out if this is doable. Please advise. I am a big,big,big fan of Coronation Street. At my age, this may be my only chance to travel overseas. I am begging Corrie, please, please, please, open to public, if not for tour, at least for a stop and picture opportunity.; 17 April 2009 15:56

You will see the back of the corner shop, the front of The Kabin and part of Underworld.

Go to -

Type in "Great John Street, Manchester".
Home in the little man to the 90degree bend, then zoom in to Coronation street.

Hope this helps !!!; 9 March 2011 13:54

Anonymous said...: I think its absolutely so awful that they have closed the set of Coronation Street and Granada Tours. They should reopen again as an awful lot of people from what i can see want to go and visit

I was there twice and really enjoyed it. Is there any petition to sign to have it reopened. someone should begin one
