For the most part, there will be a few changes

wow it looks massive :joker:

The upstairs windows on the houses look crazily big compared to what we're used to seeing, lol. It's weird seeing it all look so life size.

Viaduct Street looks a lot wider, also I notice they've remembered to put newer bricks where the tram crashed.

Where's the flats where nick lives

I would have thought they'd have made the left hand side of the window a little bigger to match the inside where they play darts. :D

:p

I know, but inside it's much bigger, room to fit tables and stuff. The exterior is still too small.

New set facts

Quote:

Coronation Street Trafford is the 5th interpretation of the nation’s favourite Street

It has taken over 60 organisations and over 3000 people to create and build it

The lot is 7.7 acres and is based in Trafford

Coronation Street is 2.5 feet wider allowing cars to pass with ease

The tree outside the salon is an Alnus Icana, from Holland it weighs six tonnes and stands 40 feet high. It is around 25 years old and is one of the largest trees ever planted in the UK

There are over 400,000 facing bricks on the Lot, of which 144,000 were reclaimed from a derelict Salford street

Our new windows are home to over 600 feet of curtain rail holding 120 curtains for twitching!

Formerly studio based the ‘Underworld’ set will be permanently housed within the factory lot

A total of 54,000 cobbles have been laid on the new street reclaimed from Salford and the canal side in Eccles

The general press will begin tweeting pics soon!
