A look back at Manchester's lost tourist attraction that welcomed millions
21.01.2022 - 10:27 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
After opening in a blaze of publicity in 1988, Manchester's Granada Studio Tour tour attracted over five million telly fans in its heyday, who came to see the famous outdoor set of Coronation Street and more.
Located on Quay Street, the Granada Studio Tour was opened in July 1988 and was a must-visit for anyone in Manchester and nearby, quickly attracting people from all over the world.
The red neon Granada sign soon became a popular sight across the city. However, by the turn of the millennium the number of visitors was 30 per cent less than expected, the drop coming as Granada Media moved away from leisure and entertainment.

In December 1999, the entertainment theme park closed to the general public, although it continued to welcome visitors as part of hospitality packages until 2006, when it closed for good.
Here, the Manchester Evening News takes a brief look back at the Granada Studio Tour and why it was so popular.
In the 1980s and 1990s, many Mancunians will remember going on the tour, whether it be with your school or fellow Corrie-fans.
The opportunity to walk down the cobbled street and immerse yourself in all things Coronation Street was a massive selling-point of the tour, which also allowed visitors to enjoy a drink in a replica of the Rovers Return pub, which was rebuilt for tourists in the 90s.
Corrie fans could also visit sets were interior scenes were shot, such as Jack and Vera Duckworth's lounge and see Rita's Kabin, Denise's hairdressing salon and more.
Upon entering the attraction, many will remember being treated to a bustling New York street set, complete with yellow cabs and neon signs.
