You can get a tour and visit the "street" at Granada studios in Manchester. There is a lot more to see besides that and its well worth the rather lengthy wait you are bound to get within the studios before your tour is next.

According to the Manchester TIC web-site, the Granada Studios tours have been permanently suspended.

It would be a shame if they were suspended. Here is the phone number of the studios <BR>(0161) 8329090<BR>

Off the subject a bit but for anyone who doesn't know - if you missed an episode or just want a good laugh, you can catch Mike Plowman's Visual Updates at<BR>http://www.csvu.net/updates.htm<BR>

Yes, Granada Studio Tours incorporating Coronation St have been permanently closed. The series is still filmed in and around Manchester and they use the original Coronation St set for outdoor scenes. Most church scenes have been shot at St Mary's Prestwich near Heaton Park. Much interesting info on http://www.coronationstreet.co.uk/index.xml
