Agnes ( Granada tea lady ) Agnes ( surname unknown ) was a potentially unimportant figure in the history of " Coronation Street " whose name has become synonymous with an off - the - cuff comment made in the Autumn of 1960 as she carried out her refreshment duties with her tea trolley at Granada Television ' s Manchester offices and overheard the name of a proposed new drama series - " Florizel Street " - and commented that it sounded like a disinfectant . Granada already had reservations about the title and according to Tony Warren this remark convinced them to sanction a change . However , it was left to executive producer Harry Elton , programme producer Stuart Latham and story editor H . V . Kershaw to come up with an alternative title , Warren having no interest in debating the point further . It should be noted an alternative reason for the title change was given in Kershaw ' s 1981 autobiography he wrote that Granada joint - founder Cecil Bernstein asked for the change while the programme ' s second producer Derek Granger said that William Roache had difficulty remembering how to pronounce the name in the way that Warren intended when he wrote his scripts and this prompted a re - thinking . However it is equally probable that all three occurrences took place and together brought about the change of title .
