Corrie's fab photo ... Monday - August 24, 2009

Coronation Street blog's fab photo comes to you a little late this week, but never fear, our pictorial prowess is as, er, fab as ever!

Here we see Doris Speed, the inimitable Annie Walker, lending a hand with the demolition of the old Coronation Street set in 1982. A new, more hospitable exterior set had recently been completed elsewhere on the Granada backlot, with Doris also taking the honour of laying the foundation stone.

You can read a truly fantastic piece all about the new 1982 exterior set at one of my favourite Coronation Street blogs, Back on the Street.
