In the main MediaCity area, where the famous Blue Peter garden is now situated, there are signs now appearing directing visitors towards the Coronation Street set - not that visitors will be admitted of course, or indeed, catch a glimpse of the street set which will be hidden by the studio block.
It's quite fitting that the studios should move to this site. When Granada TV was looking for its first home, back in the '50s, the owners chose a site near here. But as the car was taking Mr Bernstein back to the station in Manchester they passed an empty site in Quay Street and he decided that was an even better location for his studios.

Thank you for posting this Mark, it's very exciting. And also, sorry to hear you're not going to be leading the walking tours any longer as I know from experience how amazing they are. Will you be passing on your flat cap to someone else or will the tours no longer exists?
i really find it quite upsetting that yet again itv during this construction are making sure that views of the set will be blocked really is terrible !lets hope that when itv leave quay street that we can visit the set again ! x
