Isn't it funny how you can really see how tiny the area is in those photos without the set dressings and cobbles. :laugh:

God how depressing

Is it a tourist attraction now?? Can people how to visit it???

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.

for manchester that still looks quite posh

Is it in Manchester??? :amazed:

:suspect: Where did you think it was? Spain?

It has been for the last two years, but now it's being demolished and turned into flats.

RIP Old Victoria Street!

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

That was built in the late 60s, before that they filmed inside usually

So it's only really 30 years of history :p

Should have been axed 60 years ago

Captain Edge over here

The most boring soap in the world

That's nice

EastEnders September 2016 to Present Day exists though?

It not as bad as this trash i cry when me mum puts it on

That explains all of the echoing in old clips. Lol.

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!"

Shaun what about the late night editions
with Heavy Sex in them..............

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

Looking a lot more like Manchester every day... sorry xD

Surprised the front rooms are actually decorated.

Who had that hideous purple wallpaper?
