On YouTube I found an episode of Most Haunted from 2005 in which they visit the studios and outdoor set of Coronation Street.
The studio is built on a former graveyard they claim. This is not the 1960’s Granada block but a studio that was constructed next to Lower Byrom Street in the late 1980’s.
It’s a good story, but a quick look through some photographs on the Manchester City Council local image library suggests it isn’t true.
