I was watching some Corrie episodes from the mid-1980's earlier on today and a thought came into my head: was there really any need to block up the viaduct on the Viaduct Street? (There was this worry from Daran Little that they'd have to build another street behind the viaduct if there was a dramatisation of his 'War Years' book - it wasn't blocked up before 1990). There were a large pair of metal doors at the end of the viaduct as well a brick wall behind the doors anyway. Or was it blocked up for some other reason [in the storyline], as I remember it happening around the time the South side of the street was being redeveloped (the new Kabin, garage, houses etc.)


I think the arch was blocked up initially due to the change to the fully-built outdoor set. The old set allowed for a view through the arch (presumably to an anonymous-looking part of the Granada complex). I suppose the position and location of the new set meant that this wasn't possible. Initially IIRC, there was just a breeze-block wall under the arch. Eventually this got replaced when what was Jim's bike shop was built there.

There is supposed to be another street, Jubilee Terrace, the other side of the viaduct, but obviously it doesnt exist. I dont remember them mentioning it during the storylines but I think it was in the early 1990s when they changed it.

Well I'm all in favour of comedy, and I was one of the first to welcome the addition of Cilla to the cast. However, if she's to become a permanent fixture, the test now will be whether this rather one dimensional almost cartoon-like character can be developed at all.

Perhaps a death in the family or an illness would test her, it would be interesting to see if they can make her a more sympathetic character.
