New Corrie set to have a new street?

BBC News have a video up on their site, interviewing Tony Warren, Bill Roache and Michelle Keegan. At one point in the video a plan of the new street is shown and I noticed one thing, there was a car parked on the street behind the new houses, and the reflection of a building.

Could this be a brand new street/expansion of Victoria Street? See the picture without the big red arrow here.

Martin S said...: Yes, the viaduct that goes nowhere, originally erected to screen the view of the Granada office block.

I think the area with the red arrow is just an "undefined" area for now.; 7 September 2011 02:05

The street will look virtually the same and have the same layout albeit enlarged to actual size. Hopefully they may be able to film with more cars on the street, Ive never seen such an empty street! I did see on the brief building plans that the rovers will have two windows at the front upstairs instead of one so i suspect that subtle changes will be incorporated such as the side windows and random door arrangement on the side, in reality the door is in the middle of the chimney and would open through the fireplace in the rovers.; 7 September 2011 09:43
Chewy said...: There is buildings behind Prima Donner at the moment, but it looks like they're gone in these pictures, also, there's a big pair of gates in the current street outside Nuttals, but they seem to be missing in the plans (most other small details have been modeled)- I also noticed the window in the side of the Medical Center there, which is weird; 7 September 2011 11:38
Mark said...: On the plans that road is a service road which runs around the outside of the set and out at the back of the garage.; 7 September 2011 15:17
Mr Morgandorfor said...: Its Canel Street YES they gay Street also Audrey's Street and Betty's House it is a movie set at the end of the day like most of the off screen Housing sets are there and yea they replicated Canel street for Audrey and her Man Up and coming story line; 6 November 2011 01:22
