Unbelievable but true blog post time...
... a life size recreation of the Rover’s Return made entirely from Warburtons bakery products, has been unveiled to shoppers at The Trafford Centre in Manchester today.
It says here that the artwork celebrates the launch of Warburtons official involvement in Coronation Street’s 50th Anniversary, as a Best of British brand.
The bread Rover’s Return was revealed by Chris Gascoyne, (Peter Barlow) and Jane Danson (Leanne Battersby). The sculpture was created by bread artist, Lennie Payne and will be on display today for passers-by to enjoy their very own ‘slice of Corrie life’. Everything, from the beer taps and stools, to the instantly recognisable green Rover’s Return Inn sign, has been brought to ‘loaf’ using a wide selection of Warburtons packaging and products, including Warburtons Toastie, bread rolls, pancakes, crumpets and fruited loaves.
Artist Lennie Payne, from Rainham, Essex, has been working with bread for over ten years. He says: “This is the biggest project I’ve ever undertaken and it’s been great fun! The work has been extremely intricate – I’ve even toasted each slice of bread to just the right colour to imitate those infamous red bricks of the Rover’s Return!”

One of those things that you see, briefly think "Oh yeah. Very impressive." then immediately begin to wonder what the point is.
MEH.
well, Warburtons wanted something different and eye-catching to promote their brand as sponsors of the show. And it's given a talented artist a chance to show what he can do.
Looks brilliant 'in the flesh' or rather in the bread :)
Millions of starving people across the world, and they waste perfectly good food on something pointless like that.
Sorry. I'm not in much of a mood today!
That's. er... bizarre.
