Ordnance Survey (OS), one of the UK’s leading map specialists, have mapped out the set of Coronation Street. Basing their work upon the set of the show in Salford Quays
(England), the work covers streets of the town and footpaths in
traditional OS format along with building outlines carrying business
names or house numbers, whilst also offering second-screen style
character details where relevant to the building.
Ordnance Survey representative Rob Andrews said of the map:
“This
has been a great project and highlights Ordnance Survey’s commitment to
accurately map the rapidly changing face of Great Britain. This is one
of the most famous streets in the country; however, it is only one of 87
other Coronation Streets which feature on the OS database.”
