Weatherfield

Weatherfield is a fictional town in Greater Manchester, North West England, which serves as the setting for the British ITV soap opera Coronation Street. Much of Weatherfield has been seen by viewers throughout the years, however, the primary focus in the viewer's perspective is the eponymous Coronation Street, a cobbled street in Weatherfield where many of the programme's characters live. Weatherfield areas are often shot on location around Manchester, as its filming studios, the Granada Studios complex on Quay Street in Manchester city centre, only houses the outdoor sets of Coronation Street and its immediate surrounding streets.

As part of 2010 Children In Need, Walford became twinned with Weatherfield in a special programme uniting the two soaps, called "East Street".
