They just had an alley in the middle of the street? :joker:

Nah, it was where No.7 used to be (it's the one with the newer looking brick, midway through the street, lol)

The older pictures have quaintness about them,which they are,I like them.

I like how they have an actual freight train on the viaduct too lol

That's because where the original exterior set was built, on the other side of the Bonded Warehouse building, it had a real railway line going past the back of it... Which was a stroke of luck as the first street set (indoors) had a viaduct at the end of the street...

This area later became New York street on the Granada studios tour...

And is now 'Chesney's Market' - The set they use for when there are scenes with Chesney's stall, the Viaduct however was transformed into the Davenports set
