This print takes us on a nostalgic journey back in time to the streets of Salford, England. The image showcases the back view of Archie Street, which holds a significant place in television history as it served as the original inspiration for the iconic Coronation Street set. Archie Street, located in the Ordsall district of Salford, exudes an undeniable historic charm that is beautifully captured in this photograph. The terraced houses lining the street stand tall with their distinct architectural features, transporting us to an era long gone by. It's fascinating to see how these humble homes provided the design inspiration for one of Britain's most beloved TV shows - Coronation Street. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot from 1962, our minds wander through memories and stories that unfolded within these very walls.
