 The other side of the street consists of a factory, two shop units, a garage and three semi-detached houses, all appearing to have been constructed in the late 1980s.From 1960 until 1968, the complete set of "Coronation Street" (house interiors and exteriors) was erected inside one of Granada Television's studios in central Manchester, with the houses reduced in scale to 3/4.This small set was awkward for the actors, who had to walk more slowly than normal to appear in scale with the houses.
