Coronation Street is launching a brand-new promo today (August 18) that will take fans back through 57 years of the ITV soap.

The exciting Corrie campaign depicts iconic moments from each decade of the Weatherfield soap – and shows not only the scenes themselves, but also the craft involved in creating them.

Some of the scenes were recreated on the Coronation Street set, while others were recreated at Shepperton Studios by acclaimed art director Matt Gant.

The costumes were made by the award-winning Michelle Mays using archive photography, footage and references from the soap's archivist. Actors were also cast to match the original performances and emulate the moments featured.

Coronation Street's executive producer, Kieran Roberts said: "We're delighted to have such a brilliant marketing campaign celebrating Coronation Street's past, present and future.

"These promos are simply stunning and I'm sure viewers will love them as much as they love Corrie itself."
