The new Google Street View shows the Manchester based offices of ITV, where Coronation Street is filmed. I don't know if the Google cameras went up and down the cobbles but at least you can have a look around the area of Granada Television. It's here.If the picture doesn't show, just click your mouse to take a walk down Quay Street in Manchester and you'll see Granada TV.

Too late Glenda. It opened for 2 seconds before they blacked out the screen leaving the message:"This image is no longer available".
Saw on the news how Google are removing images that some find offensive or embarrassing. As it's private commercial premises I expect Granada complained to keep their franchise under total control. So no freebies there from now on.
I had a lot of fun 'walking' around the entire Granada building. Hopefully these links work:
This is where the cast come in and out. The street is actually between that little walkway. (hope this link works)

Perhaps you can fix it Glenda or I can email it to you.
No, the Street View is still there, but you can't zoom in close any longer.
