A few weeks ago we ran a blog post about Corrie connections to my home city of Sunderland (which my local paper The Sunderland Echo nicked and used without permission or payment and only gave me a name-credit after I complained to them).
In response to that blog post, Coronation Street Blog reader Rob Hall emailed in with a list of Coronation Street connections to Hartlepool. Always keen to learn more about our favourite show, here we go with some top facts about Corrie and Hartlepool.
Thanks, Rob!
