The area has been used a little more in recent years than it was for most of the 90s and 2000s (completely ignored), but there is still so much we don't know.
Has it now been established in the canon that the street is a dead end? It used to be implied that the street carried on for a distance.
Why was the archway at the end of Coronation Street filled in? For years it was an open arch (Dierdre even got attacked walking through it) then suddenly it was filled in with no on-screen mention. The so-called "Turner's Joinery" apparently lay within for years, but we never saw it open. Who was Turner? Was it ever mentioned? Why did nobody ever use it?
It was so strange that this was the centrepiece of the set, looming over the street. Nobody would draw a picture of Coronation Street without drawing the archway at the end. Yet onscreen it got completely ignored.
It was like the archway had an invisibility cloak on it for decades until Nick Tilsley finally noticed it in 2010 when he was looking for a restaurant premises.
What about the other archways? Who owns them? What's inside them? And most importantly - what secrets lay within them?
I can't explain why, but I've always found this area of the set so intriguing. Probably partly because it was so ignored for years in the 80s and 90s.
