Visit Haunts Of TV Soap Characters While On Holiday In Manchester Hotels
Whether it’s the family saga of The Mitchells or the teen tearaways of Hollyoaks Village, as a nation, we are happily addicted to soap-operas. We get involved with the lifestyle they lead in Summer Bay in Australia, can’t get enough of the gossip in The Rover’s Return or the goings on in the green dales, but usually experience it from the safety of our own couch. Not just popular in the UK, many international people flock to Manchester hotels to visit the homes of their top soap characters and the favourite hangouts from Shameless and Coronation Street.
You might be able to spy a some Coronation Street celebrities if you head over to the set, which used to be accessible to the public via tours through Granada Studios but now you have to peek through to the street. You can drop by the Museum of Science and Industry, where if you climb to the top floor you’ll be able to get a much better view. Not only might you get pulled a pint by the lady herself in The Old Grapes pub, but fellow Corrie stars often pop in for a swift half after work too.
True fanatics should book one of the Coronation Street Walking Tours around the city. It’ll be an early start from your Manchester hotels but trust us, it’s worth it. A popular walk takes you to some of the Street’s more recognisable external sets whilst you hear about the history of the soap, its creator Tony Warren plus a little insight into Manchester itself. Another walk takes you through Salford Quays, a popular location for the show too.
The fictional estate of Chatsworth in Manchester is where popular and critically acclaimed comedy drama Shameless is set. The Wellington has now shut, which is the pub in the show known as The Jockey, and it was visited by all. As it was one of the show’s most recognisable locations – after all, Frank was always in it – it might still be worth a visit for true hardcore fans on hotel deals to the city.

All American 921 21-1/2-Quart Pressure Cooker/Canner $199.99 This heavy-duty pressure cooker’s large capacity is probably best utilized for canning (though it would also be great for a number of cooking tasks). A pressure cooker is generally recommended when canning vegetables and nonacid fruit, since the high heat that can be generated will kill more bacteria than a regular hot water bath. Made from cast aluminum, with sturdy screws to seal the lid to the … |
