"Back in June, me and Anne met up to attend the Coronation Street tour. As life long fans of the show, and something me and Anne have spoken about throughout our friendship, we thought this would be a great opportunity to visit the set in its new location. nnMe and Anne met in Manchester and got the tram over to Media City where we went for a chippy at The Lowry Centre. We then headed to the ITV studios where the tour began on the main street. Our host was fantastic, and as well as photo opportunities we were also able to stop at various points to ask questions and hear some behind the scenes insight from the tour guide. nMe and Anne had both been to the tour in its previous location - so it was great to see some elements that were the same as well as new additions to the street. nnAfter the tour, we visited the shop where I bought a Rovers Return glass and a magnet of Jack and Vera's house! nIt was a great catch up with Anne!"nnLove Your Neighbour pals Trish (31) and Anne (72) enjoyed a very Mancunian day out on the Corrie set 💜
