I was watching Coronation Street's 35th anniversary documentary that I happened to convert from VHS to digital over the holidays. There are extensive interviews with Coronation Street's creator, Tony Warren and they showed this fab photo of a young Tony and Pat Phoenix (Elsie Tanner) from the early 60s. Isn't it wonderful?

A nice memory for corrie,Elsie was a legend.
