Coronation Street unveils a first look of the Weatherfield Precinct set ahead of its on-screen debut next year.

Coronation Street has unveiled the first look at its new Weatherfield Precinct set.

The Precinct has been mentioned on the soap for years but has not been properly seen on screen until now.

The set features a playground, residential flats and a series of commercial units - including a charity shop, a bakery, a Chinese takeaway, a dessert parlour and a pawn shop.

Exec producer Iain MacLeod said: "Hats off to our design and construction teams who have conjured a totally convincing new precinct for our drama!

"They took their inspiration from Salford's many real-world, late 20th century shopping areas and what they have created is a brilliant, characterful space to tell a diverse range of stories.

"Expect to see teens hanging out at the dessert shop, families enjoying the play area and, after dark, a rogues' gallery, up to shady business in the ginnels.

"I am really excited by the arrival on screen of this much-discussed but never-seen corner of the Weatherfield universe."

The first scenes on the new set will be filmed this week and the Precinct will be seen on screen for the first time from January 13.
