[MTVN]

It looks really out of place on that street, it's too modern :laugh:

What actually is it btw, Peter and Leanne gave up on their bar didnt they, so whos setting this up? :conf:

[Scarlett.]

Lol indeed it does, though they're planning to do a little modernization following the tram crash

Nick opens it

[Stacey.]

It looks cool!

And who are all them random people stood at the front of the picture?! D:

[M X]

Who are all them people?

[Scarlett.]

Americans/Canadians on a tour lol

[Stacey.]

Oh right LOL.

[Scarlett.]

lol :p

I can't wait to see what it looks like inside!

[M X]

Lol. :D

[Scarlett.]

It's weird that the Canadian's are such big fans of the show, they're even bigger fans than me! (I wouldn't spend $1000+ just to see the street xD)

[Patrick]

LOL Look's good.

Ikr Same Chewy, well like I wouldn't spend that much to go on Albert Square.. although to enter the Big Brother house would be a different story, I'd do basically anything.

[Scarlett.]

lol it's just that one step too far I think lol

[Smithy]

1000 each?? :o

[Scarlett.]

Aye lol xD

lol at this old pic of the street

[Patrick]

LOL It just looks as if someone has took that bar from Hollyoaks or Eastender's R&R and threw it in the middle of the street.

[Scarlett.]

It's about time Corrie got a bar xD

[Scarlett.]

Lol here is what it used to look like with the forever unused Turners Joinery

I never knew Canadian's could watch Coronation Street, do they get the episodes a short while after us or are they like years behind?

[Scarlett.]

Canada are at the point where Tony has admitted to killing Liam to Roy :]

Nick, with Leanne's help.. i think?

[Scarlett.]

I think they've made the viaduct taller

[Smithy]

Yep, looks it

[Scarlett.]

Usually it is only just taller than the Kabin roof, now it seems pretty high

[flamingGalah!]

I think they've made the viaduct taller

The reason why the viaduct looks taller (& why they blocked off the road that used to go under it, with the Turner's Joinery shop) is because that they built the new Corrie studio behind it, that is the newer orange brick that you can see... When you see the opening credits the top of the viaduct is all that is shown...

I remember when Elsie Tanner left (showing my age lol) and she walked off through under that viaduct... :D

[Scarlett.]

I see :] Didn't they block it off when the new side of the street was built? :D

Turners Joinery randomly appeared one morning when Maya crashed into it xD

Yeah it was blocked off years ago, the "new" studio was built in 1990...

It used to just be a random blocked up lock-up... Don Brennan drove his car into it & died in a fireball, the black scorch marks were there for years after :D
