	Granada Studios Tour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Granada Studios Tour was an entertainment complex in Castlefield, Manchester operating from 1988 to 1999.
		Granada was going through a period of unprecedented change, and many of the company's divisions were sold off in the wake of the OnDigital fiasco.
		The tour complex was seen as a loss-making enterprise and plans were made to close it, unbeknownst to the public at large, who always saw the Coronation Street visit as the most important part of the whole complex.

		During their tour of the Alhambra and the Generalife, Alex's parents were guided by the spirit of Washington Irving.

		However, Granada closed the set in 2002 and as far as I know it’s been shut ever since to the great unwashed of the general public (that's you and me).
		I think Granada Studios is wrong in their assumption that those who would like to seeThe Street,have already done so, the Street is so beloved and keeps drawing in many new fans who would be interested in the tour as well.
		My sister &I have made the tour twice already and returned to have another look in October 2004 just to be disappointed that the trip to Manchester was made in vain...

	Coronation Street - TvWiki, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Granada and ITV executives, as well as the people in charge of distributing the show overseas, have called (and still call, as of 2005) Coronation Street the world's longest-running soap opera.
		Even now, several Granada towerblocks dominate the skyline over the street, and are usually obscured/'hidden' through careful camera angles, and the majority of interior scenes are still shot in the adjoining purpose-built studio.
		Granada has also produced a number of straight-to-video spin-off productions, which were screened on television only after having been available in shops for some time, as an incentive to buyers.

		It captured something of the feel of the period when Sherlock Holmes was abroad in London, chasing after suspects in hansom cabs and hiding out in pea soupers.
		The sitting room that Holmes shared with Watson was available for viewings and if you looked closely you could spot the bullet holes made by ammunition from the weapon of one of Moriarty's cronies.
		And, of course, Granada made the wonderful, and to my mind, the best, dramatisation of the Holmes stories.

		At the height of the tour’s popularity, Corrie was only three episodes a week, and the relatively low (compared to now) requirements for filming on the set allowed members of the public to wander down the cobbles five days a week.
		Since the demise of the tour in 1999, there has been no access to either the Street set or any form of studio tour for the general public.
		Salford, in geographical terms, is about 30 seconds walk from Granada’s current front door anyway, and as Weatherfield is said to be based on a Salford street in the first place, it could be considered something of a homecoming.

		The Set: In early 1960, after Granada Television commissioned twelve episodes of Coronation Street, the set designer Denis Parkin was taken on a tour of Salford by series creator Tony Warren for inspiration on the set.

		With the closure of the tour, Granada were able to expanded the exterior set to incorporate further buildings on Rosamund Street (the Health Centre) and later on Victoria Street (Roy's Rolls & Elliot and Son).
