Is Weatherfield a real place?
As much as ITV viewers may enjoy it, Weatherfield is a fictional town.
Known on screens as the cobbled haven for drama, heartbreak, betrayal and even murder, Weatherfield is actually based on Salford, located in Greater Manchester.
The town of Weatherfield has always been chosen to host Coronation Street's plotlines since the programme's inception in 1960.
However, this doesn't mean Corrie enthusiasts don't have the opportunity to take a trip to the cobbles as the MediaCityUK site is open to visitors as of March, 2022.
Much like other TV sets, Weatherfield was closed to members of the public due to the Covid pandemic and has just re-opened for business.

Where is Coronation Street filmed?
On-screen events and reality are sometimes worlds apart but this is far from the case for Coronation Street.
In 2014, production decided to vacate the old Granada Studios on Manchester's Quay Street.
Cameras and stars were all moved to a purpose-built 7.7 acre site in MediaCityUK.
MediaCity is situated on the banks of the Manchester Ship Canal in Salford and Trafford.
The set at MediaCity was built to a bigger scale than Granada Studios.
The new set also has a Costa Coffee shop, a Co-Op, a new curry house and a community garden.
However, most interior scenes are still shot in studios.
The set includes all of the iconic Corrie landmarks such as The Rovers Return, Roy's Rolls and The Bistro.
You'll also find the exterior of the character's houses on the street there.
From March, 2022, until – at the earliest – autumn, MediaCityUK is opening construction of a new addition to the set.
Soap bosses announced the opening of a construction site for the Weatherfield precinct on March 9, which has often been mentioned in dialogues between characters.

Legendary Coronation Street prop set to be DESTROYED
An iconic Coronation Street prop is set to be destroyed as ITV bosses scramble to find a buyer.
The Fleetwood Heritage Leisure Trust is disposing of its trams, but is experiencing problems finding a home for Balloon Car 710 which has been stored at Wyre Dock for several years.
The Trust has a deadline in 2022 to remove its trams from Wyre Dock.
They will need to arrange for it to be dismantled for scrap or spare parts.
There are various examples of this tram at Rigby Road Depot in Blackpool, so there is no need to add a further example to the existing lines of trams stored there.
However, there may well be options for it to be moved elsewhere in the country which may not necessarily be of a transport heritage profile.
