ITV studios, Trafford Wharf Road
Since the spring of 2013 this site in Trafford Wharf Road close to neighbouring MediaCityUK is now the home of the Rovers Return, the Kabin, Kevin Webster's garage, Roy's Rolls and the Underworld factory. The previous Granada TV site in Quay Street in Manchester city centre dating from the 1960s was deemed too small for the modern-day Coronation Street set to be filmed in so this new site over in Trafford Wharf was constructed instead, with more room for Britain's most famous television street to be filmed in and with more room for special effects and dramatic storylines.
