coronation street - the rover's return

[biscuitboy]

what house number is the rover's return from the popular TV show coronation street

[valsuey]

I may be wrong but I think its No 1

[Sausagegirl]

A natural assumption, but you are indeed wrong, Valsuey. The Barlows live at No 1. Never understood why the pub apparently doesn't have a number.

1 = Barlows

3= emily & Norris

5= Battersbys

7= Baldwins

9 = Duckworths

11 = Grimshaws

13= Websters

15= corner shop.

So if the shop has a number, why doesn't t'pub?

[valsuey]

I'm impressed Sausagegirl, you are obviously a big fan of the Street. Strange not to have a number though. I thought the houses started at No 3 thats why I thought the Pub was No 1.
Hey biscuitboy love the name , is it becos you are a lover of biscuits or another reason?

They probably didn't think people would notice, who is worried about house numbers? Are you going to send them all Christmas cards? If so just address it to The Rovers Return, Coronation street. I am sure the postman knows where it is.

I'm always happy to chat about Corrie trivia. The thing that intrigues me about the Rovers is that in the very very early b&w Tony Warren eps circa 1960 it is called on its frontage "The Rovers Return", and nowadays it is "Rovers Return Inn". I'm sure I'm right in this from what I remember from seeing repeats a few years ago on Granada Plus it must have been.

Sorry but I did say it was trivia!

Oh yes - and why don't they fix the bit on the side of the overhanging pelmet bit (non-technical term, or is it "marquee" like they talk about US theatres, anyway the green signage) - as there are bolts in the shape of the letters of "Rovers Return Inn" but the letters have been missing for ages. I think it's the same on the other side of that bit too...! :-/
