Hotels near Granada Studios

The site of the Old Granada Studios

As the first purpose-built television studio to open in the UK, Granada Studios on Quay Street in Manchester started broadcasting in May 1956. Although the iconic building and its surrounding space is not recognised as a listed building or space, it is now the site of a planned exhibition space.

Great photo ops

Granada TV's famous signage can be seen from the train when entering Manchester, and as well as being a famous landmark it is also a popular spot for pictures. Although the sets have gone, some of the filming is still done close by, and just around the corner you can often see audience queues waiting to watch an episode of Jeremy Kyle.

A Coronation Street tour

Although the original set of Coronation Street is no longer at the vintage site, you can take a tour of the newly built set by hopping on a tram to Media City and heading to The Studios for a planned tour.
