Granada Studios (Manchester)

why is this place closed down!!...it was so good for visitors, and for students who are studying travel and tourism..esp the corrie fans...this place was the highlight of North England. I went with college in 1995. I still have an empty packet of crisp that i kept as it had the logo of granada studios, i'm glad i kept it now.. also the house of parliament, and 10 downing street was good to walk into.

If have a good look at some of the better opinions you will see what people give good ratings for. If you read and rate other people's opinions they may read and rate yours thats what it is all about! by Gwenick on 01.02.2002 at 23:01 Here's a tip. Spend more time on each opinion. Only post one a day (at most) and read and rate other people opinions. You'll get more read (and therefore more money) that way. As it is you are doing what is known as 'churning' - and people won't read you at ...  Read the complete review

I have visited Granada Studios in Manchester on numerous occasions and always had a great day out. It is the place where you get to walk down the famous cobbles of Coronation Street.

I seemed to be drawing a total blank in my search for information though. There was no web site to be found, no leaflets etc. ...  Read the complete review

Yes, you really can walk down that famous street!!! We visited coronation street a few years ago whilst on our way home from a holiday in Blackpool, We decided go home via Manchester. It really is very interesting, having watched the show for years it's great to see everything in real life. It's a lot smaller then I imagined, the houses have got nothing inside except building materials,and they are only decorated just inside the front door, the stairs only go half way up, so when you see the kids getting sent upstairs they wait at the top until the next scene then come down again!!! as there is nowhere for them to go!!! It was great seeing the ...  Read the complete review

I took a visit to the Granada Studios Coronation Street Experience and it was an experience in itself. I watch Coronation street on and off depending on what the story line is at the present time. I would not say I was an avid fan but do tend to get involved with the stories now and again. The studio visit is a must see and although you can wander around the studio on your own there are parts which are guided. The inside, the make up department and costumes are all guided. Walk onto the actual street, look through the letterboxes and the rovers return is open for a drink, although the interior of this rovers return is not the one actually used for filming, the ...  Read the complete review
