For years Hilda’s flying ducks were a regular on the Street thanks to Hilda’s ‘Muriel’. But now it seems that another bird is putting pay to Corrie’s proposed move to Salford Quays.

STV reports that the noise of seagulls have foiled plans for a ‘Coronation Street’ set relocation, relocation, relocation.

Craig Gazey who plays Graeme Proctor told Manchester radio station Key 103: “I heard they were going to take it to Salford Quays, but someone mentioned the seagulls.

“Because it’s based in Greater Manchester, Weatherfield can’t suddenly have seagulls, because obviously we film outside – we can’t have, like, ‘All right Ken’ and then seagull noises.”

The actor said ITV producers were now in the process of finding another location to shoot the soap, which has used the same exterior set since it was built in 1982. He added: “We do need a new Street because as we’re going into HD it’s going to look absolutely rubbish.”
