For Grazia UK’s Coronation Special back in the summer. A lovely afternoon in Wigan meeting the real people of Coronation Street.

A diverse group of people standing in the middle of the road. On either side is a row of terraced houses. There's also a small dog.
An old couple standing in their front doorway. One looks left, the other looks right.
A family stands at the entrance to their road. On either side of them is a car. The dad is much taller than everyone in the family.
A young woman cradles her cat in her arms on the street outside her house.
A young couple pose with their baby and small black dog outside their house.
A multi-generational group of women pose for the camera in the street. One woman holds up her dog and another pulls tongues.
A man holds his child in his arms outside his house as the sun sets behind them giving them a backlit glow.
