The absolute classic days of Corrie, now a shadow of what it once was. Fabulous actors and sadly no longer with us but fondly remembered. Thanks for this, very well done!

Unforgettable legends. Most of the older actresses on Corrie lived a full long life ! There will never be another Coronation Street as this classic one.

basically all those from when i watched it when it was good, 70's early 80's

It’s utter tripe now with storyline’s that are unbelievable, enjoyed this video so thanks for uploading 👍

This is an excellent video. Thank you so much for making it. May they all rest in peace 🙏

That was the golden age of Corrie but sadly the show is now a depressing and dull shadow of its former self..

Corrie has never been the same since.

RIP . Coronation Street. A great fabulous northern soap opera 😊 the country loved the characters 😊 storyline & humour 😊 great script writers 😊

They were the best actors in corrie rip to all ❤

With all these wonderful characters gone, it is the reason why I do not watch this show anymore. It has turned to crap.

What a great show in it's day🎬💯 we had a cat in the 70s we called it MINIE... They really were the STAR'S IN IT'S GLORY YEAR'S... Great memories 🌟💖 May they rest in peace 🕊️😢🙏🇬🇧 Bless their Souls 🙏😇💯🇬🇧

Get the box set and watch from the start. Ive just retired and look forward to seeing all these fantastic people from the first ever screening and to see how we coped without social media, tablets, mobile phones, computers etc.

Remember that Bryan Mosely was cruelly thrown off a car park by Michael Caine in Get Carter.

I stopped watching the show five years ago after having lost its way. This was a sad video which tells me that love and family, health, happiness and good friends (and some wealth) are the most important things in life.

Haven't watched this show in years. Although I don't know some of the characters mentioned here, I remember most and that is when it was worth watching. RIP all those who have gone

I watched coronation street a few days a go before the program i wanted to watch started and it was crap what has happened to it it was good the younger cast should be in hollyoaks and the same goes for eastenders & emmerdale no one stands out as an icon of the show these days it's sad to see 😢 RIP to all the icons in this video ❤

Love watching old Corrie episodes with all the legends like Annie and Jack Walker, Hilda, Stan, Len, Ray and the fabulous Pat Phoenix.

Corrie has been piffle for about 20 years. It used to be such fun with wonderful characters.

Enjoyed seeing the old faces this was a great video ❤️

They were the golden year's of coronation Street, you just can't beat them.

Alf Roberts died younger than Stan Ogden .... I'd never knew that.... Also to note, that eddie yates a lodger at the ogdens died at the same age as stan

Excellent video of steamies and diesel train nicely put together bid like the whisles on the steam trains cut seines well done 😊😊😊

Quite a few missing from the list and a few added that didn't impact on the series such as Tracy's ex husband's wife in two episodes. Bert tilsley, Sam kydd just to add to the list. So sad when I watch it all the brilliant characters that made it a institute.

I say some real Corrie legends here i say ......

Only recently got hooked on Coro the past 12 months, a friend and I were trying to work out the oldest characters, not child actors, left or still on the show? I only remember Ken Barlow, Hilda??? and is it, Audrey? That can remember way back then .

Thank you for a great video.

This is when soaps were worth watching & was not so damn depressing as they are now !!

Most were from the days when it was a gritty Northern soap of working class people, the humour was legendary, not like now with all the depressing storylines and inforgettable characters.

What a great video !! … they all came alive in my mind as I watched - beautiful memories of Xmas day - queens speech and then Xmas with the Corrie’s

Thanks for putting that together. I never realised how many popular face had been on the street. Thanx

Bill Tarmey was also a singer who released at least 1 record

Has the Hilda Ogden character officially died in corrie? I remember they made an announcement on the show when deidre passed away

Anthony Booth who Pat Phoenix (Corrie’s Elsie Tanner) married, was Cherie Blair’s father. Tony Blair’s (UK Prime Minister) wife!

I watch 0ld Corri love Jack and Vera duckworth I'm 46 I do watch it now with Paul's mnd story line is an emotional one❤

What wonderful characters these actors made. R.I.P.

I was a huge corrie fan in the 1970s. In 1978, I got a set of photos from Granada TV of the cast, all signed.

Such legends have gone, Corrie at it's best, happy memories of family TV ❤

I was lucky enough to meet Violet Carson (Ena Sharples) when I was a 20-year-old bank cashier at a new branch of Barclays Bank in Euston Station. That was soon after the rail terminus was completely renovated and re-opened in 1968. Miss Carson cashed a cheque with me (those were the days!), presumably before catching her train to Manchester, and I remember her being a lovely, friendly, and very glamorous lady, full of smiles and compliments! In the early 1980s, I managed to acquire the autograph of Liz Dawn (Vera Duckworth) who was making a personal appearance at a disco (then called 'Bangs') at the top of Charing Cross Road, London. A lively, witty lady, much in demand by autograph hunters! As a side issue, the Barclays branch at Euston Station (which is now an M & S 'Simply Food' outlet) was one of the first to introduce the original style of cash machine. As a cashier, we had to load this machine with packets of brand new One Pound notes (10 per packet), and the machine would operate by means of an arm with a suction pad on the end, which lifted a single packet from a pile within the machine, it swung across and placed it on the 'tray' which the customer would then pull open to retrieve the money! Customers had special vouchers for this purpose - Ten Pounds for every voucher!! Advanced technology in those days!! 😄

I thought the reason for peter Adamson (len fairclough) dismissal was alot mire sinister (CP)???

I remember picking out John Savident as the German Officer in the film Waterloo in conference with Wellington (Christopher Plummer).

I loved them all and Corrie isn't the same since they've all gone.

the golden years all so sadly missed god rest these brilliant funny people 🙏🏻

I didn’t realise Bryan Mosley was so young.

Great poeple there they great ❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊well missed

Johnny Leeze lived in a flat in cleethorpes a feiend of mine who lived above Johnny's flat. Johnny was a big drinker and used to drink most of the time with southerner Mark Myers owner of Cleethorpes Pier. Johnny died from depression and turned to drink after the work dried up.

29:15 that picture looks like it was taken in the late 80s or 1990s. However If you look closely you can see a young John Thaw

I remember Daphne Oxenford in a children's TV show from when I was little called 'The Children of Green Knowe', she looked really old then and that was back in the 80s.

Saw Lynne Perrie performing at The Mildmay Club,a working man's club in Newington Green North London circa 1983,& allegedly,Liam Gallagher & Nicole Appleton held their wedding reception there,after he fell in love with the club,after shooting the video "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" with Oasis,Jame's Blunt shot a music video there,Call The Midwife did some filming there too,& other artists & shows

Always got mixed with Hilda Ogden n Ena Sharples. Thought Hilda was the hair net nd Ena Sharples had curlers but other way around. My bad.

Actress who died in real life ", that's the dumbest statement, everyone dies in real life 🙄

Andrew Sachs, June Whitfield, Bobby Nutt, and Tony Booth who was in the pics here and married to Pat Phoenix about 6 days before she died.

Jonny Leeze is shown here in his later role of Ned Glover from Emmerdale.

I have not watched corrie for years. Like all the other soap operas, they are not as good anymore. These older characters were the best. X❤

Tragic that Jack Howarth died in real life in his sixties while still in the role of Jack Walker. It wasn't the same once Annie was on her own behind the bar.

Rip❤ all who passed away 😢

Perhaps it is not only these characters who have died but the series has also come to the end of it's time?

Could do with timestamps...

You missed a few Roy Hudd Lipstick on Your Collar Dennis Potter and Harbour Lights starring Nick Berry

Sad that no corrie cast members went to Peter Adamsons funeral. The articles he wrote must have been harsh

Betty Driver was the sister of comedian Brian Rix.

RUINED BY MORE ADVERTS THAN NATIONAL TELEVISION.

John salvant was also in Blake seven and Barbara young was also in I claudius

Even one loved pay Phoenix

When it started (days I can remember) of Ken Barlow & family 'round the table in their living room etc. t.v. was a pioneering enterprise and script writers had a blank canvas on which to implant memories in our brains. However with technology continually saving and reloading all of the data since way back when nothing is 'fresh' anymore so it's not surprising that every thing goes stale?

I remember watching the 1st episode on a black and white Bakelite TV ,to my mind the series lost its way when Spider and the dreadful Battersby family were wrote into the series. I stopped watching because it had turned into a Northern version of East Enders! Arguments, nasty scheming back stabbing characters and totally depressing story lines. If real life was supposed to be portrayed by Coronation Street post Spider I would have completely lost the will to live. Corro is a dreadful, depressing soap that long ago lost its family appeal.

It was so sad that she passed away years ago now I have seen a lot of coronation street star who have passed away over the years

She was my favorite character hands down.

Lyn Perrie was brilliant at stand up I seen her 1980 in a working men’s club

Billy Ken wright was my foster mums cousin they looked so alike.

He was very much loved by all and when he paid the roll of Stan and Ogden and his acting wife of sham Ogden she was beautiful I loved all the people who stated in coronation street for many many years and I am still watching it I think Ken Barlow is the longest serving star in coronation street and Rita is the last two who were the longest ones left all e i remember her in brook side close

Well that was a waste of time, as you never mentioned Elsie Tanner (Pat Phoenix) or her son Dennis ?????

Generations of Legends and Unsung Heroes in the Life's at the Rovers Return with gossips and scandals ❤😂

Wouldn’t be showing more respect to not use some third rate robotic voice reading out AI generated text.

Factually incorrect!! Doreen Keogh’s character was Concepta Riley, not Concepta Regan!!

I remember her Doreen keough

Coronation Street is sooooooooooo depressing nowadays, the characters from decades ago will always remain legends of this once iconic tv soap series, "Sorrynation Street" anyone.....😂😂😂

I remember most of these characters, some might say unfortunately 😆 I also remember Len Fairclough actor Peter Adamson getting sacked from the show......but not for writing stuff about his co actors, it was something to do with child sex offences. It was all very hush hush at the time but I'm certain that was the reason and my memory isn't false 🙄✌️

So many well-known ACTORS WHO DIED IN REAL LIFE and before the Jab.

She was a beautiful young women

I haven't watched it since Mike died in Ken's arms.

rip sarah harding such a brave lady she was 💔💔💔

I was a child in the mid 1960s when Corrie finally made it to my home land NZ five years after it stated in Britain, so it lagged 5 years for a long time. But as I lost interest in it in the early 1980's some of the names were either unknown or forgotten by me, now aged 65. but thanks for this video. i remember the show with affection. those were the days when Ena Sharples held court with Minnie and Martha " in t' snoog"

Yea she was a very well loved by all

She was a beautiful woman and was a brilliant stress

I always thought Fred Elliot was gay in real life he just came across very camp looks like I was mistaken

Prefer the classic episodes

Classic coronation st on it’s still good

this has been covered before by someone else

Too much AI enhancements on the photos, interesting tho.

robo-voice is APPALLING

Bryan Mosley died 6 weeks after his character Alf Roberts died on screen.l

When corrie was a real soap with fabulous actors and scrips .Not like the rubbish they serve up now. Its just now a sad comady thats not funny. . How sad how they have turned Corrie into a joke

Liverpool is in MERSEYSIDE!! Not Lancashire!!

Ancoats is in manchester

The man narrating this wants sacking. Absolutely disgraceful how he is mispronouncing these British Soap Star peoples names. Thing is, the person is British. Like I said, absolutely disgraceful..

I still watch coronation Street. I don't like emmerdale and I really dislike eastenders

Whos ghe woman in the thumbnail

I agree no more to be ßaid.

The first words ftom thecommentry is actress..stop with calling women actors

Liverpool is not in Lancashire😮
