Yahoo News First look at new Coronation Street shops and its extended set
Coronation Street fans were given a glimpse at the extended set that boasts a host of new shops, including a Costa Coffee.
The first shots of the new shop fronts were seen on this morning’s Good Morning Britain, as Richard Arnold gave viewers a tour of what the extended set will be made up of.
Accompanied by Corrie star Kym Marsh (who has appeared on the show for 12 years), we got a peek at the the controversial choice of the new coffee shop and a number of other additions.
New features include a tattoo parlour, a tram stop, restaurant, and local police station.
The host was swiftly guided around, taking us to Speed Daal – a new restaurant in the soap.

Eagle-eyed viewers of the soap had already noticed the distinct red Costa cups making their way into the show on various occasions, so the news didn’t come as a huge shock to many when announced earlier this year.
