Ok thank you.

Prior to the establishment of the outdoor "Stanley Street" set, most of the location footage was shot in West London. "The Lock" and its surrounding areas were filmed at Yeading Marina, shots of the town centre of Charnham were in Uxbridge, and wooded areas featured Ruislip, Denham and Iver among others. The houses seen in exterior shots were in Hayes, Uxbridge, and other parts of west London.

Several episodes made heavy use of the police station sets of ITV1's police drama The Bill, made by the same TV production company. The words "Sun Hill" were removed from the front of the police station for the Family Affairs shoot. In similar fashion, The hospital sets used for St Hugh's on the Bill were also used for Family Affairs' own hospital, St. David's.


So it was filmed on a real street for a time

Aye it is quite good, I wish the Kings River had been built now though (although last time we saw the area the Kings River fences where still up)

BTW you do see the backs of the Corrie houses, on the back street lol

I'm sure someone has done, could be thinking of another soap but I'm sure back in the 90's some one got donein with a hammer round there.

Lol al if this is confuseing me

Either way all soap sets are really good and so well thought of, even silly things like them putting rubbish on the paths, posters on the walls etc, it's all cool.

Apparently Toyah Battersby was raped there

The night before Easter Sunday in 2001, Toyah was having a night out with mechanic Sam Kingston played by Scott Wright. While on her way home alone, Toyah was raped and left for dead in the ginnel

[Jake!]

There we are, I knew something happened there. I remember them saying it was a big issue for Corrie at thetime because it was still at a tea-time slot, but it worked...
