In 2010 when Coronation Street celebrated its 50th anniversary, our blogger Sunny Jim wrote some amazing blog posts entitled 50 Years of Corrie in 50 Days.
Every one of those 50 blog posts paid homage to every year of Coronation Street's history, outlining events on and off the cobbles. Sunny Jim used Corrie reference books and online sources to create a wonderful resource for fans.
You can read them all here in this wonderful online book.
