As a huge fan of TV's iconic Coronation Street, and of taking photographs, I thought I'd share a few pictures from my recent day out visiting the ITV studios tour, viewing the wonders of Weatherfield, and the magic of British television!
I'm sharing these images for pure aesthetics; the attention to detail within this fictional suburb is superb, and the glorious April sunshine was a wonderful bonus. Although I have visited these studios several times, in my capacity as a writer for the Coronation Street Blog, I hadn't seen the most recent additions to the set (Victoria Gardens, Seb's Memorial, Shuttleworth's) and ended up taking about 70 shots. I share just a few, so don't be afraid to scroll!
All photos were taken on the 30th of April 2022 on this Digital camera and are (c) @rybazoxo 2022

Mawdsley St. You do walk past those shops on the set tour! |
These are just a few I'm sharing. Ideally, I plan to visit again soon and take a more extensive portfolio. Ironically, I took very few of Coronation Street itself!
More information about Coronation Street - The Tour can be accessed here. I do recommend buying the Tour Souvenir Guide - it's a real treat!
