  FROM its first episode in 1960, Coronation Street has captivated the nation with gripping tales from the cobbled streets of Weatherfield. Now the longest-running drama in British television history, The Street has gained large and loyal audiences around the world. The stories may now be bigger and bolder, but every episode still thrills viewers with the lives, loves and losses of an ordinary working class community. As Corrie celebrates its 50th anniversary, we step back in time with some golden greats from the award-winning soap. From the legendary ladies of Ena Sharples, Hilda Ogden and Annie Walker to the infamous villains of Alan Bradley, Richard Hillman and Tony Gordon, there has been no shortage of drama. Over the years, viewers have laughed, cried and shared the highs and lows of Jack and Vera, Ken and Deirdre, Curly and Raquel, the Baldwin, Battersby and Webster families. This 84-page souvenir special explores five decades of life on The Street - the characters we love and those we love to hate. Featuring on and off-screen stories behind the street's most famous faces, this is a must-have souvenir for every Coronation Street fan.
