Coronation Street Tour

Yesterday I was lucky enough to go on a tour around the Coronation Street set, which has been a dream of mine for years. Although we weren't actually allowed to take pictures of the sets, we were allowed to take pictures of the street and in the gardens, so I have a vast amount of images to share.

It wasn't at all what I imagined it to be like. the Rovers was extremely small and they explained to us how they take the windows out to shoot scenes. We was allowed to purchase a professional photo of us behind the bar however.

The photo's were available to buy at £7.99 for one, or two for £10.00. You also got to choose between two pictures. 

I was extremely shocked to hear that the famous 'Betty's Hotpot' is actually the leftovers from the canteen. Though, at least we now no the secret recipe :)
The beer is also shandy.

We were shown around the sets of old characters houses, the costume and makeup room. I loved Carla's house, and Kens old barge- does anybody remember that?

We also got to see Hayley's coffin, Becky's wedding dress, old memorabilia and all the awards they have won.
We were shown into the room where the actors and actresses learnt there lines, and it wasn't how I imagined it to be, the were 5 couches and a small kitchen. Some characters, old and new also wrote comments on the wall about the tour.

We got to keep our backstage passes.

And now, because I have a lot of photo's to share with you, I will stop typing and start pasting. Please excuse any images that blurry or dark, my sister took the majority of these picture, and we went at night time, because we got told it would give us a better experience. Most of them are also screenshots, due to them being on my sisters phone, so I had to take them off her facebook.

Make-up done and dusted :)

This was Gail's garden, which I were super pleased about sitting on her fake grass. 

Ahh Norris.

I was nervous walking down here, in case anyone jumped out on me haha. 

Sally's garden.

Just wanted Audrey pop out and do my hair ;) 

Looking very awkward there Kate! 

Catherine pretending to be dead, apparently doing the 'Tina death' is a popular picture taken here. 

So there's some of the few hundred pictures took, I did also have one doing Tina's death and I thought i did a pretty good job being dead, when I find it I'll post the picture.
