I remember when I went there, it all seemed so tiny, not just the length, but the height of the houses, I don't know how they made it look so big :laugh:

Nope, it is being demolished.

The cobbles themselves however, are apparently being used for a new area on the new set.

To be fair, Victoria Street was only built in the late 90s, the old set being demolished was built in the 80s, before that they had an older smaller set

Hollyoaks is the most boring soap. "Oh here's a new character, she'll be dead by the end of the month so get to know her quickly!"

[arista]

Shaun what about the late night editions

Yep lol, they used to actually set up the interiors behind the houses as well lol, bet they were glad when they moved outside and finally got a bit of room to move around

[Scarlett.]

Yes they should return to this set now if they want a true realistic feel of a northern town

It makes me chuckle the street still has a mark on the bridge where Don drove into it, in the 90s.
