EXCLUSIVE: The woman who dressed the Coronation Street icons

Coronation Street fans who watched the ITV programme Goodbye Granadaland a few weeks ago will have seen a lady by the name of Edna Walker interviewed on the show.

Edna was the original Head of Wardrobe when Coronation Street started in 1960.

She's the lady who dressed the women - and men - who went on to become some of our best loved and well known Coronation Street icons.

In an exclusive interview here on the Coronation Street Blog, Edna's spoken to me about her time on the show dressing the Coronation Street iconic characters such as Elsie Tanner, Ena Sharples and Annie Walker.

The interview's long with some great pictures. To give it the room it deserves, it's here on corrie.net.

I hope Corrie fans enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed speaking to Edna and writing her memories to share.
