EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1971, we see the iconic Coronation Street star William Roache, known for his role as Ken Barlow, alongside Sheila Howe. The image captures a unique moment in television history when the cast of Coronation Street ventured into a new venture - working in a mail-order warehouse. The newly built mail-order warehouse stands proudly across the road from The Rovers Return, adding an interesting dynamic to the beloved soap opera's storyline. To ensure authenticity and accuracy in their portrayal of these roles, Granada TV has enlisted real-life dolly-girls from existing mail-order warehouses as advisors. Sheila Howe, just twenty years old at the time and employed in Great Universal Stores' checking department, is one such advisor seen here with William Roache. Her expertise and guidance undoubtedly contributed to creating an authentic atmosphere on set. This photograph not only showcases the behind-the-scenes collaboration between actors and industry professionals but also highlights how popular culture often intersects with reality. It serves as a reminder of how television shows like Coronation Street have influenced various aspects of society throughout history. Preserved by John Madden through Memory Lane Prints, this snapshot offers viewers a glimpse into an intriguing chapter within both entertainment and industrial realms during the vibrant 1970s era.
