Coronation Street's amazing prop store

(This post was originally posted by Graeme N on the Coronation Street Blog in July 2013.)

I really enjoyed ITV's recent celebration of all things Granada, Goodbye Granadaland. (Watch it on YouTube here) The lovely Flaming Nora even blogged about it right here.

That fabulous prop room seemed to be acting as home to everything from costumes and wigs to gravestones and even set designs. 

This made me think about posing the following question: If you found yourself with access to that Corrie treasure trove for the afternoon, what item in particular would you go searching for? What would be your biggest and most cherished find?

It might be the glasses Hilda Ogden's cried over after Stan's death? Or maybe a set of Bet Lynch's infamous earrings? What about one of Rita's delightfully tasteless sparkly woollen creations from the 1980s? 

Personally, I'd love to try on Deirdre's re-entry shield glasses from the 1970s. What a pair! 

So what about you?
