They should dress the Coronation St actors as zombies and film an episode here!
Your so right thet would be so cool
But the old set is gone now
yeah and maybe richard hillman could come back from the dead or something like that
Now thats gotta be next years comic relief.......
Have to be a zombie to watch it.
Thanks for this. I can't understand why this is not preserved as a tourist attraction. Iconic TV. I spend most of my viewing time on youtube now but I did grow up loving this show.
Pleasure m8 and yeah I agree they have actually moved the set now to a full scale one but it should have been a. Museum or something at least! It’s almost as is they don’t want us having fun anymore eh m8…
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt Hi is this a secret location or can anybody go
@@philyourboots Been demolished now pal we were the last to make it and the only k es to document it like this.
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt I think there's still some of the viaduct left, I'm not familiar with the area was just trying to work out where it was in relation to the science museum literally after watching your video
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt ahh k would have been nice to walk it.... Good video bud!
It’s always interesting looking at abandoned places and seeing them get slowly reclaimed by nature.
It is indeed pal and exactly the reason I do it amongst others thanks for watching m8.
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt this is wicked
It's brilliant. Have you ever had a land owner give you shit?
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmItI'm a bit confused about something. I don't live in Manchester but I got my picture taking as a 50th birthday wish at the Salford Lads Club as I'm into The Smiths.
One corner of where the club is situated is named Coronation Street! Was this part if where it was filmed?
@@anthonyporter4497 No pal there a many Coronation Streets Across Englad and a fair few in Manchester and Salford. Even my Grandad lives on one lol
A melancholy sight. Never really watched the show, just sort of absorbed it growing up because my mum watched it. Surprised at how sad this made me feel.
I find this a bit sad really that such an iconic show set has been let go like this, I grew up in the suburb where Neighbors is set and haven't been back there for forty years because the whole area is now a concrete jungle.
I think I remember seeing this set quite a bit, whenever my Grandma would take me to the Science and Industry museum, there was one window on one of the top floors she used to show us that looked out at the Coronation Street set, a highlight from her own personal tour she'd give us!
Brilliant thanks for your history m8.
You could see it from the train, used to see it on my way to Salford Uni, but the smell of Boddingtons Brewery was better
@@SaltimusMaximus Lol I can almost smell it now
If ure grandmother had wheels she would of been a bike
@@bhenchordsingh5028 What's Gino got to do with it lol?
Thanks for doing this.
Loved to see the old set (even though it's in such a bad state of disrepair).
Hearing some of the old casts voices on the track made it all the better.
Great job. Thanks again, really appreciated watching this (and your commentary was spot on) 👏
Thanks m8 it means a lot to know you think that man I really appreciate it have a quality night or day dependant on where you are. Clarky
RIP Granada Studios.
The building you went inside where you got caught was originally part of the Coronation Street Experience (when the studio tour was still open). It was a replica of the 60's Rovers set which showed a movie and then revolved around where they opened shutters to reveal the Street itself. Then you were allowed walk up & down the street as much as you wanted.
Nice to see inside and behind some of the buildings which you totally couldn't reach back in the day.
Yeah, I went m8 lol! Well, when I was a kid so my memories are blurred lol. Thanks for watching m8y!
Good vid. I enjoyed The Arches & Camelot too. I'll be keeping an eye out for more, you've got a good attitude and I like your style.
Cheers, +gibbonduder182 I appreciate that m8 a lot!
was the original medical centre on the series
6:46 That was such a nice touch adding in past voices!, got goose bumps, so much history your standing.
Cheers m8 I often add the echoes of the past to my films.
I went around before they moved, they took the cobbles, the front of iconic houses and the Rovers to the Media studios and rebult everything, it's still sad to see though such a iconic street gone 😢
In the grounds of the Granada building stood the original Coronation street set. I was driving past once and the large gate was opened and to my surprise there it was. So a couple of weeks later (about 1978-9) I took one of my employees , who was mad keen on Coro to see it. I hadn't told her where we were going, and when we got there the gate was shut. so I parked, got out and gave her a foot up. She looked over the top of the gate and she shouted with absolute delight. I will always remember that moment!!!
Hahaaa mint m8 this is that set you know as well tha ks for your history m8
Amazing that was the old set gone to ruins!
Less than Five years and you can see how nature takes back over. 🇬🇧👍
Omg I remember goin there when I was a kid to see that 💙 from Liverpool
Mad in it m8 I did myself as a nipper too.
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt ye. It's mad init 😀 then we went shopping to get a pair of FU jeans. 🤣🤣 Jesus Christ I've just had a blast from the past their 🤦Dammm
It's very sad to see this set all derelict and overgrown now after watching Corrie on TV from the very early days. I visited this set in the 90s taking my parents on a trip to the Granada studio tours which were running at the time.
It’s quite sad to see it like this. A British TV icon just left to rot.
Great video, shows the set designers and set dressers skills when something you think is so big is in fact quite small and compact. Video brought back happy memories of watching Corrie with Hilda and Stan bickering back and forth! 😁 thanks guys for making this.
Pleasure m8.
I visited there 4 time's. It was great.
In a way it's one of the saddest videos I've ever watched, can't believe that I once stood in many of the same spots doing the last Corrie set tours.
Yeah I can imagine m8 especially if you frequented it.
Brilliant video....thank you.
It was kinda sad to see it like that.... remembering all the great characters who walked these streets....knowing most of them have passed away...
But great to see it still there....
Watched this video 4 times now... obsessed lol 👍👍👍
Thanks Ace Im just glad its rewatchable really and hopefully you might another video you like amongst the back catalogue cheers!
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt definitely will check out all your other videos...👍👍👍
Amazing seeing the old set and what’s there still
Sound video did the studio tour with the wife back in the day.One of the flower beds you walked passed opposite the rovers had Stan ogden grave stone in it.Did not know until a security guard pointed it out.
U've got a proper oldskool Manc accent, thought I was back in the 90s for a moment there when ya started🤣 sick video
Lol born in 1984 me brother so yeah your about right m8 lol
One of Britains most iconic tv shows. The set should have been preserved as a museum at least.
I personally would agree, but times move on unfortunately.
I love how it turns into an ASMR video about halfway through
Pmfsl
I’m from Belfast an things like this touch my heart I love to visit old places every time I go to Liverpool I visit brookside … I would love to go here for 1day 💚🤍🧡❤️☘️🇮🇪
ABSOLUTLEY BRILLIANT!!! much respect to yer dude,well presented ,great drama too,thanx so much for the glimpses into the past our childhood,nice 1 top guys urban collective
Much appreciated Andy Il never forget jibbing through Jack Duckworths window pmsl.
I have quite an attachment to this place! As a newspaper photographer, I covered the opening of this set by the Queen in 1982, and later visited it again for various photocalls, including Tony Blair’s visit to the Rovers. I have a photograph of him taken with some of the cast. More interestingly for me, is the fact that when Granada opened in about 1955, and my uncle, applied for a job as a qualified carpenter. My uncle was responsible for the construction of the first Coronation Street set ( indoors), which was to start the long running series. I have spent many good times ( photo shoots) there, but have never visited Media City.
Quality stuff thanks for sharing yo history m8.
I thought this set was when the show first started. Did it not?
I cannot remember the original set, but what I refer to was the “rebuild” of the street, as I say, in 1982, at Granada TV’s studios in Quay Street Manchester. The Queen also visited the newly reopened Liverpool Road railway station, which was, in effect, in the same complex!
We still watch this show every night and the entire morning every Sunday!! We love this show and everyone who is on it!! Thanks so much for showing us around!! Cheers, Nikki yyc
Pleasure m8.
You need to get out moor..
@@kevinralph5305 *More
@@kevinralph5305 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 hahahaha u rite some rite sad cunts around
Fascinating video,big fan of the classic episodes and the modern episodes. Great work ☺☺
Yeah, I believe the new one is a lot bigger with a full-scale street etc! And thank you very much for the feedback Im glad you enjoyed it!
I'm showing my age but remember seeing the first episode with many of the original cast in December 1960. What were then called kitchen sink dramas were all the rage in the cinema of the late 1950's and early 1960's showing working class life as it was, warts and all. It was an important time in our history when we shrugged off our old Victorian and Edwardian past and the hardship of two world wars. I think Coronation St was the first venture of such a production to the small screen, TV ownership was just taking off in 1960. Who thought Coronation St would still be going over sixty years later. Thanks Tony Warren and the Granada TV team for what you gave us. Thanks as well Urban Collective for this video, as you suggest it is preserving a piece of our history. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Ken great comment pal.
What a great, informative and sensitive comment 👏
That really was creepy. I grew up in the 60s watching Corrie still watch bits now and then but that tour you did was fascinating. Thanks from london
Brilliant classic Corrie explore. Thank you and good night 👏
Hahaa cheers dude!
It was Pucker to see this only by chance it came up on youtube and I thought id give it a look, and it was great I don't remember the 60s and 70s cobbles as my mum would send us 5 siblings to bed before it started so she could watch it in peace lol you dare not talk when corrie or even Crossroads was on, Got to give credit though where its due manchester has always been in the news for trouble but you geezers were pucker and respectful you did not even nick an ITV studios cup I saw on the shelf lol respect to you geezers for not stealing or any damage and NOT giving the security guard lip well done.
No we never have I'll intentions pal over 190 explores and never had any trouble whatsoever or police involved we just wanna document history and abandoned places with the utmost respect. Thanks for taking a chance watching and even more so for the comment. All the best pal.
Great video! Grew up watching this show but not watched in years and didn't know they don't use the old street anymore.
Great clip The Unrbane Collective, I too watched Coronation street growing up in New Zealand, it's huge in NZ and always has been. Way back in the late 60's & 70's we all watched it because our mum loved it so it just became part of our lives. I live in Denmark now and have never seen it on any channels here.
No way man I didn't know it actually reached that many people in so many different countries thanks for sharing m8 and for taking the time to watch and comment!
No worries. keep up the brilliant work.
@@PaulLea Hey Paul I noticed you've not commented for a while hope alls good pal.
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt Giday me old John Cooper Clarke impersonator lol. Hey man I havn't seen any of your clips for ages, somehow they stopped coming up on my you tube, a bit like outa sight outa mind.
What a bugger, now I'll have to spend a few weeks catching up. Alls well over here in Denmark, that bloody virus just wont go away though, I see it's still a major hassle over your way too. Thanks for the message. cheers Paul Lea
.
@@PaulLea It's all a little bit strange if you ask me pal as if there were... an Agenda! Anyway glad your well pal and hope you enjoy some of the newer films.
Hello mate. Thanks a lot for all your videos.I am sure you enjoyed making them as much as I did watching them .God Bless
Hey no worries m8 its a pleasure and I haven't finished yet, in fact, I haven't even started!
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt Looking forwards to those beautiful memories from Manchester and wherever else you take your fancy next.
I feel home sick from that beautiful city of yours and so closed to my heart too
In fact I am from Madrid in Spain but Manchester and its people past and present are number one to me and your work watching it here on line in Spain means a lot to me
God Bless
@@borricoyyo Oh brilliant it means a lot that m8 to know you like the vids and the fact that I have viewers overseas. Cheers.
Love watching
Loved this opening Corrie tune! As soon as It came on--I went with my old father down to the local pub!
Haha
Just seen your channel and all I can say is a massive WOW that was brilliant thankyou so much for that I've just shared it with my family glad the police weren't called xx
Absolute pleasure Sharon and I hope you may find another film you like some time have a lovely night m8.

Must of felt so weird being there. I grew up watching Corrie too, so cool you found it 👍
Cheers Jon!

That was sooooo cool!!! Stinks you got caught but thanks for the video!
Cheers, Melinda I really appreciate that m8 take care!
Hey cool video, thanks so much!! I really enjoyed it, seeing what the original Coronation Street looked like.. you turned it into a bit of an adventure which made it all the more interesting!!!
Cheers Nige
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt the pleasure is mine pal!! 👍
I went here in the 80s the new houses on opposite side was not there then, it was a great day out with loads of other things going on. Thank you for putting this video on it brought good memories back to me.
Absolute pleasure m8
I subscribed just because of your interaction with the security guard. Kinda situation where its nice to get caught. Well done for being so polite and respectful
Cheers captain. It’s not hard to be nice eh pal. He totally got why we were there anyway he was a top bloke to be honest.
That Accent !!!!!! The Gallaghers
pmsl Il take that r kid!
it’s so stupid they are not looking after this, great vid, this presumably was on Granada studios tour from the 90s
Shame they knocked everything down there now heard there in middle of building flats there
Enjoyed that. Cheers mate
My lad will be 33 this year; back when he was a babe in arms we 'did' the Studio tour including Coronation Street! Brings back memories!
me too m8 thanks for watching!
love this! New to this channel...interesting!
Cheers Nick welcome aboard.
Cool Video, Thanks For Making & Sharing :) , U Filmed This 4 Years After I Went There On The Official Tour :O
Great vid - and one of my favourite cities in the world
I’m watching some of the old classic corries from 1977. Cheers for doing this
There the best ones m8 no question. Before cancel culture and all that nonsense
Quality.
They should have used it one more time for one of the cast members to have a dream of a post-apocalyptic future! 😄
Never realised it was so close to MOSI.
Very cool. The new road and pavements are much wider now and outside the hair salon is a much bigger area with a bench. Lovin this video 🙏
We had a similar experience getting into the old ATV studios in Birmingham after it was abandoned.
part of the old Crossroads sets were still there and the Golden Shot studio.
All derelict and abandoned but full of TV ghosts.
Now it's the Crowne Plaza hotel 😢
Cool
Late but thank man this was hugely enjoyable love the UK language muurch reseeearch quality
love this video all that has gone now all flattended
They should have kept the studio tours going. Some people would still pay to see it like this lol .Interesting to see the houses didn't have upstairs. Thanks for uploading it .
@roger adams As far as I know it has been abandoned for a few years because a friend of mine worked on the new studio back around 2013/14. Granada studios moved,as far as I know the studio is no longer used as most of the Northwest programmes are from Salford.
Absolutely Very Interesting Throughout
Thanks For Sharing
Cheers Andy glad you enjoyed it pal hopefully we'll see you again soma day. All the best pal.
Great video guys, amazing what 4 years of neglect can do
New sub.Enjoyed!
Wow , top man. Things like this is great. Wife got me a text tour of Manchester for our 30th wedding anniversary. It was ace. Keep it going 👍🍺
Sorry. Ment taxi tour 🙃
Not all the stairs in the terrace houses go up to the next floor, but there is one set that actually does, leading to offices that goes right across the upper floor of the entire row of houses,
👍🏼
Yeah saw that with another explorer
great work.. wish i'd have tried this myself when i lived in manc... once tried to get in that mayfield train station on fairfield street. another top place is that old dock behind chester road... loved that place.
Il bear that in mind m8!
Brilliant video. Love the intro and the sounds
Thanjs very much. This is actually a few years old now so Im made up the older ones still get watched. I hust hope yoi agree that the stabilisation skills have increased ever so slightly over the years lol.
Clarky.
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt I really like your content. It's relaxed arty and well presented. Really well done
@@SarahsUKGraveyard Thank you very much m8 I really appreciate it. I have one you recognise here too being from Oldham ;(
Its the old prudential assurance building that also house a basement night club which was called Holly City Zoo. It's still one of the most stunning derelict buildings Ive seen m8.

Good enough for Manchester 👍
Thanks for sharing this, brilliant video guys, love Manchester and will be back up again tomorrow, wythenshawe to be precise (from Essex)
Quality glad you saw it Terry sorry for the late response didn't get notified man!
Ahh no worries mate, keep,up the good work!
Hi m8 did the tour there a few years ago before they moved it was brilliant but to see it this way is cool great video stay safe take care 👍
just seen this video on Facebook i will sub you love exploring videos and love Manchester so rock on . x
Aww thanks m8 O really appreciate that this film is four or five years old to be honest so my skillet has vastly improved since then and we have quite the back catalogue now too so I hope you enjoy m8 thanks for subbing. Clarky.
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt Yes i will enjoy trawling there your videos over the coming weeks Keren :)
When I tell People that i've been on the same stage as the Beatles, and I have been in Sherlock Holmes apartment, they tend not to believe Me. It's true though. I was on the Grenada studios tour about 30 years ago.
It was most amazing
Cool
Mega video this !
Cheers m8 thank you.
That was cool mate happy day's
Nature took over this place quick. Cool vid
Your work is valuable man.
Keep it up👍
Thank you Andy. I hoping to step it up a level this year m8 and really make it count
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt particularly enjoyed The Crescent pub. Im working on the site next to it and wonder about the place every time I walk past.
👍👍
@@andyriley6254 Oh cracking Im glad you found it then m8. Ive done a few in and around Salford now pal.
Sad to see the old coronation street set in such disrepair what would Ina Sharples make of it all, so many good actors made their names on the cobbles of old set 😔 thanks for sharing.
My dog always goes crazy when the birds fly away in the intro, and the cat jumps. When he hears the music he runs to the TV. He just couldn't understand how the music was coming from my hands just now.
Lol
I'm thinking perfect for post-apocalypse zombie paintballing!
Smiled the whole way through. Great stuff. Got the privilege of living in Salford for five years. Loved every minute. North west is great, love and respect from the south east.
Nice one John I appreciate the viewership pal
Strewth that is sad hey. Look at Gail's house. So many memories from skipping rope in ep 1 to Gail and Irene scrapping in the street.
That’s mind blowing
Mad in it m8 Il never forget this little adventure!
👍😉 nice one thanks .
A true soap opera ending lol
Lol jibbin throughJack Duckworths Window pmsl
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt I used to work in the broad oak where he'd sup. He was a nice enough bloke but a bit of hard work. He bollicked me once because I didn't know how to turn the spot light on him on the stage 😂😂
@@SarahsUKGraveyard Haha quality he lived in Worsley I believe we used yo ride past his house back in the day.
This is mental mate 👍
Oh yes nothing can't beat the old theme song!
This is kinda sad to see it like that, remember having to watch this with my parents before bed time and going to Granada studio's with Reddish vale high school lol. simpler times.
I enjoyed that.
Thanks tom all the best pal!
Very interesting vid, UC. Nice music too. Cheers.
Thanks Iain appreciated pal
Exiteing Stuff...🌹 Thanks. X
Me and my mum did the Granada studio tour in 1993. I remember walking round the set with hangover from the night before, which was spent in a pub in Chester, where we were visiting relatives. I remember being desperate to know what was behind the front doors. I looked through one of the letterboxes, but it was blocked up. Anyway now I know. It's a pity they couldn't have sold off bricks as souvenirs and given the money to charity.
Aww so lucky!, and i thought they where actual houses :((
Nice Job.. ☝️👍
Worked on it as a bricklayer in 1981top lift of Rovers Return n top of shop.
Really good x
I visited the abandoned set 3 times and was never caught thankfully... I'm surprised you were tbh. I even took home a broken mug from the shelf at 10:47 as a souvenir! It's such a shame that it's now demolished but great video! :)
Cheers dude this one of two times Ive ever been caught to be honest m8 the other being camelot! Ithink we were saw by camera scaling the wall lol!
Believe it or not but I was planning on hitting Camelot in the summer for an overnight... so it's good you've told me that. Did the security let you off?
@@joshuathorp1557 Yeahcthey were sound m8!
My college grounds in Manchester in the year 2000s was the much older Coronation Street. That was left to fall to pieces
great video, appreciate you doing it. always loved urban exploration. hope you don't mind my correction regarding it being built on a graveyard.
Weren't me who said it anyways pal and thanks for watching man were doing really well on Facebook pushing 15k views a week etc but on here it's quite difficult thanks for the support pal!
