The new exterior set is identical to the old one on Manchester's Quay Street but the buildings and street have been scaled up to make them more realistic
Coronation Street films its final scenes on its world famous set this week and star Paula Lane said: “It’s bound to be emotional.”
Bosses have recreated Weatherfield at a new facility and scaled up buildings to make them more realistic.
Paula, 27, who plays bolshy stylist Kylie Platt, said: “It’s sad to be leaving but I do like change and I think the move is going to be great for us.
“[The new location] feels enormous but I’m tiny so everything seems big to me.
“But it looks the same and you can still feel the warmth of Corrie.
“I was also glad to see the Platts’ house, Nick’s Bistro and Audrey’s Salon are still there on the new set, so I’m thrilled about that - Kylie’s home and work.”
The soap is moving from Quay Street in central Manchester to the outskirts at Trafford. The final shoot will be on Friday
