Thanks for all that Chewy, it brings it more to life now seeing it all laid out like that and where everything and everyone is.

Very interesting.

This is a great thread I'm pretty clued up on who lives where now, but I struggle to remember who lived in some of those houses years ago.

I think Albert Tatlock lived at number one in the beginning, but not sure if Ken lived there too or did he live in another house at any other time.

Also I struggle to remember where Ivy & Bert lived, were they living in the Duckworths house originally ?

I remember the Ogdens living at number 13 before the Websters took over, Kevin was a lodger at the Ogdens if I remember correctly.

Has Emily always lived in the same house, she's always with lodgers. I remember Curly and Spider living with her years ago.

Chewy, do you know which house has had the most residents living in it ?

He lived at No.13 (Emily's house) then moved to the Maisonettes, then back to No.13, then to No.11 (Eileen's house) then to No.1



Emily lived in Rosamund Street to start off, then to the Corner Shop flat, then No.11, then she moved to No.3

I'd say No.11 has had the most

Also, a bit of trivia, No.6, now know as the Windasses house is cursed

Des Barnes was murdered there


Tommy Harris was murdered by his daughter at the garage, Tommy owned No.6, Katie Harris killed herself there


then finally, Charlie was killed there


Sadly the Mortons all escaped alive

Cheers Chewy. What a wonderful memory of Corrie you have, who needs wiki..?

Looks like number 6 is as unlucky as number 10 Brookside Close

I got some pics of the old Street if anyone wants to see





Jesus look at the scale of the houses here xD

And The living room for the rovers is in the middle of Rosamund Street

[Scarlett.]

It used to be worse :P



I reckon there might be a fire or something next year, and they will change the layout to fit the new 2013 set (Where the Rovers will be built to a larger scale)

I think its funny how that bridge is completely absent above the back gardens

lol, though they....kinda addressed it in the tram crash episodes by just showing that one as a bridge or an arch

[Judas]

So in the old days did the rovers use to be huge?

[Scarlett.]

Aye, skip to 0:43

Youtube video

[Judas]

Did the ever explain why it shrunk? And was that a church next door to it?

[Scarlett.]

It was in the very early days so it was discounted, not to mention in the same episodes the mission hall was stated to be across the road, not next to the Rovers

When you look at the Rovers from the street you see the entrance and two windows to the left. As you walk to the end of the windows there's a small wall where the dart board is on the inside, carry on walking, turn right and it's a straight wall.

But if you were to go in the Rovers and behind the bar and through the door, you get an area where the telephone table stand is, plus the stairs and the back door. Then you have the living room which has the kitchen attached.

I remember reading that in the 60's, the Rovers exterior was sometimes a completely different set filmed on location (the big one with large square windows either side of the door) and they had to flimsily edit all the street together by cutting and sticking the images together when doing things like the end credits seen above.
