It then leads you through nine decades to reveal the day-to-day lives of the inhabitants of this small Northern town: how people reacted to two world wars; the shattering effect of the Depression in the Thirties; and other major events. Each chapter weaves in stories of some new and some well-known characters, and the book then brings you right up to the present day to tell you more about the lives and loves of the people now living in Coronation Street. Weatherfield Life is a book you will not be able to put down. Whether you're just an occasional viewer of 'Coronation Street', an avid fan or simply interested in the industrial North, you'll find its mix of intrigue, humour, tragedy and romance both compelling and totally fascinating. Illustrated.
