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.
