Coronation Street becomes first soap on Google Street View

LONDON - ITV soap 'Coronation Street' has stolen a march on Albert Square by getting featured on Google Street View.

A partnership between ITV and Google led to the Street View car being invited onto the set of the famous soap yesterday to capture a 360-degree view of the cobbled streets of fictional town Weatherfield.

Fans will be able to manoeuvre themselves around landmarks such as The Rovers Return and Roy's Rolls Cafe.

A Google spokesman said: "This is the first ever TV soap to be photographed."

It will be a few months before the Coronation Street feature will be seen on Street View.
