For years this pub has been mentioned and is a rival of the Rovers but has it ever appeared on screen?

Didn't they do a cricket tournament or some other sport contest with the Rovers a couple of years ago?

The pub has appeared in the past, but not for many years.

It was first introduced when Cilla Brown was working there and was where she met Les.

Liz has also worked there at least once.

The Weathefield Arms actually appeared on screen quite a bit during 2004-2006, the pub most people are thinking of on here (with the tournaments, is The Flying Horse)

Also was it a studio set or...?

The landlady Stella Rigby was an occasional character in Bet Lynch's time at The Rovers.

Cilla's first scenes are here which give you a good idea of the Weatherfield Arms.

I don't know for definite whether it was a set or a real pub but given the size of it I would think it was probably a real pub located close to Granada.

The Hour Glass was another pub/bar of the 90s. I think Liz worked as manager there.

I thought SR ran TWA, but was it even mentioned back in those days?
I know The Flying Horse has 'existed' for many years.

Liz used to work there and I recall that their house speciality was a ploughmans lunch, that Diedre used to enjoy on occasion.

Funny the things you remember as you get older.

Liz was manager of a pub called the Queens which was one of Newton and Ridley's more upmarket pubs and was located on or near the 'trendy' Weatherfield Quays.

The first references to the Weatherfield Arms came when Cilla Brown first appeared in 2003. I don't know of any references to the pub prior to that, though some other FMs may know something I don't know.

Stella Rigby was definitely the landlady of the White Swan.

The Flying Horse has been referenced since the earliest days of Corrie in the 60s.

I did start another thread on this subject without realising this one existed.

My question was, why don't they make more reference to this pub, they could use it as an occasional meeting place for a few drinks then finishing up at the Rovers for a nightcap.

I hadn't heard this pub mentioned for a long time until Tim made reference to it the other night.

Does anyone else remember the other restaurant years before the Bistro - it was a set for a while - can't remember what it was called - I'm sure Leanne worked there

There have been a few restaurants in recent history

Valandro's (the one you're thinking of)
The Clock
Delphine's
