This week sees the 55th anniversary of the original US release of Alfred Hitchcock's seminal film
Psycho.
Time then, to resurrect this wonderful image of Mr H on the Coronation Street set.
This photograph of Alfred Hitchcock (1899-1980) peering through the doors of the Rovers Return in Coronation Street was taken in June 1964 by Joe Darby for the Daily Herald.
The caption read: '
While visiting a friend at Granada Television studios in Manchester, film director, Alfred Hitchcock, peeps through the doors of Coronation Street's famous local, the Rovers Return'.

Sidney Bernstein (1899-1993) had worked with Hitchcock on 'Rope' (1948) and 'Under Capricorn' (1949) and went on to become a co-founder of Granada Television.
