Archie Street Archie Street was a small terraced street in the Ordsall district of Salford which provided the design inspiration for the look of the fictional Coronation Street when the serial began in 1960 . The late nineteenth century street was notably different in several ways to its television counterpart : Archie Street was chosen by Tony Warren and designer Denis Parkin in the autumn of 1960 as they drove round the Ordsall district looking for a suitable location on which to base the programme ' s set designs . The street was used in the first title sequence for the programme and also in various end - caption photographs . A filmed shot used throughout most of the 1960s from a high vantage point on Manchester Ship Canal dock buildings on Ordsall Lane also showed St . Clement ' s Church in the distance . The street featured in an early article about the programme in the listings magazine " TV Times " in the issue of 28th May to 3rd June 1961 when Warren , Doris Speed and Betty Alberge were photographed with the real residents and local MP Frank Allaun ( a great supporter of the programme ) on a publicity visit . The street became well known for its association with the programme and was nicknamed " Coronarchie Street " . The street was also well known as being the birthplace , at No . 9 , of Manchester United " Busby Babe " on 1st November 1936 . The street has been referred to as the " spiritual home " of the Busby Babes and fellow player has spoken eloquently of spending Christmas Day with the Colmans , their friends , neighbours and extended family who all congregated at 9 Archie Street with jugs of beer supplied from the off licence at the corner shop . Colman later died in the Munich air disaster on 6th February 1958 . In 1968 the residents were moved out and the street was derelict until 1971 when it was finally demolished . For the vast majority of the 1960s , scenes set on the fictional Coronation Street were recorded inside Granada ' s Quay Street studios although from April 1968 the production used the Grape Street set for outdoor scenes . Aside from the title sequence , no scenes were ever shot on Archie Street for the programme . St Clement ' s Church aside , nothing now remains of either Archie Street or its immediate surrounding streets . The north - west end of St . Clement ' s Drive , Salford , M5 now stands on the site . St Clement ' s Church itself was used in the programme for the location filming for the wedding of Jerry Booth and Myra Dickinson in Episode 299 ( 23rd October 1963 ) although the main entrance to the church and its grounds were used which were on the opposite side of the building to Archie Street .

Customer ( Episode 9115 ) The Customer was a purchaser of a kebab in Prima Doner who knew Gemma Winter and had a conversation with her in streetwise slang which Cathy Matthews found utterly incomprehensible . Gemma spoke of another girl who had " pieded " ( ignored ) her , when a male figure thought he had her " locked down " ( had control of her ) , while the customer said that the man concerned was a Roman ( a man who isn ' t nominally handsome but nevertheless is attractive to women ) who chased her with " PM ' s " and " DM ' s " ( Private and Direct Messages ) and who Gemma said had been " dug out all over the socials " ( castigated on social media ) as a result . Cathy realised that she missed " normal " conversations in Roy ' s Rolls so Gemma took her on a typical night out with her to try and get her to understand their clientele . The evening ended with Cathy being sick over Brian Packham ' s shoes and racked with a hangover .
Mrs Grice Mrs Grice was the recently - appointed mortgage manager of a bank where Alec Gilroy applied for a business loan of £60 , 000 in 1991 . Alec was setting up The Al - Phi - Bet Club with Phil Jennings and had to borrow to come up with his half . Alec immediately got off on the wrong foot with Mrs Grice by assuming that she was a secretary and handing her his coat to hang up , though Mrs Grice made a faux pas herself by addressing Alec as " Mr Giljoy " . Alec was thrown when Mrs Grice corrected his assumption about her profession and told him that her predecessor , Mr Lawrence , had been transferred two weeks ago . Alec made a valiant attempt to convince Mrs Grice that he was a sound investment , citing Shirley Bassey and Tom Jones as acts he nearly had on his books at one point . However , his age and support for borrowing his way out of trouble - despite the current recession - were a cause for concern . Mrs Grice only stretched to £30 , 000 as the premises he ' d earmarked for the club was semi - derelict and he didn ' t know the financial situation of his partner , Phil Jennings . The civil conversation was a marked contrast to Alec ' s colourful report of the meeting to Bet , in which he labelled Mrs Grice a snotty young yuppie who was power mad .
