The long-running ITV soap Coronation Street is relocating its studio base to MediaCityUK, in Salford Quays in Manchester and building work has already started.
The new production complex has already begun building work with a 7.7 acre site across from the main BBC studios.
Located alongside the Imperial War Museum North, it will be a bespoke stand-alone production and studio centre for Coronation Street and work is expected to be completed by spring 2013.
William Roache, one of the soap’s stars who plays character Ken Barlow, said of the commercial removals: “It’s over fifty years since I first walked on to a Coronation Street set, and now I’m here with Michelle [Keegan], starting the build of our new home – the one that will take us well in to this century, and it feels fantastic.”
Kevin Lygo, Managing director at ITV Studios, said: “Our move to MediaCityUK is an historic one that will continue our commitment to the North, ensuring our longevity as the major programme maker in the region and make us a crucial part of Europe’s biggest media population. It is a very exciting time.”
