Coronation Street has unveiled plans for a brand new - and grittier - set in Weatherfield.
The ITV soap - who has moved to three hour-long episodes from this week - has revealed its plans for a new exterior set build, the much-referenced Weatherfield Precinct, which will now be brought to life.
The brand new set will be built on the soap's 7.7 acre site in Trafford, near Manchester and will feature a number of maisonettes, a staircase and balcony as well as a huge piazza and a string of local shops and units.
