Happy 56th Birthday to Coronation Street

It's Friday, December 9th 1960 and Coronation Street takes to the air for the very first time.  It's broadcast live, bringing a whole new era to television and to British culture.

And here we are, 56 years later, and Coronation Street goes from strength to strength.

Happy 56th birthday, Coronation Street!  And many more (Rovers) returns.
