Coronation Street's producers are planning to open the famous terraced street to the public next year after filming moves to a new site.

A visitor attraction allowing fans to walk down the cobbles could open for six months from next spring, ITV said.

The existing set, which has been used since 1982, will be vacated when the show moves to a new home at MediaCityUK in Manchester early next year.

An exhibition showing the plans is at ITV's Manchester studios on Thursday.

The broadcaster said fans would get "a wonderful opportunity to visit and experience the set".

It would be the first time the street has been opened to the public since 1999, ITV said.
