Fab Photo Friday - December 14th 2012
It's Friday again so it's time for this week's fab Coronation Street
photo. However, this week we bring you not Coronation Street but Archie Street. When Granada gave the go ahead for the first 16 episodes, Tony Warren and designer Denis Parkin drove round the back streets of Salford and picked Archie Street in Ordsall as the inspiration for the set. The street appeared in the original closing credits and was used for outdoor filming on occasion until its demolition in 1971.

Thanks Sunny Jim - great photo! These houses were actually considered posh because they had bay windows!!
Great photo :)
Brilliant! Thank you
Sad that it was demolished. It should have been kept as an example of the real Coronation Street and a testament to similar streets that existed.
Very interesting. At least the Street began rooted in realism.
Now people are clamouring to live in terraces, but back in the 60's and 70's the 'experts' said people want glass and metal high rises..yuk!
What price progress? All that perfectly restorable and useable housing destroyed...and for what tower blocks that are already way past their sell by date after just 40 years.
round't corner from my house
Creepy yet fascinating. Great photo.
Ha ha, I see they ignored the church in the background when they re-created the set. Would have been a waste of space for this gang of miscreants.
