"30 years ago there used to be a Black Maria outside Rovers Return every Sat'd'y night. An' coppers used to walk two at a time down Coronation Street. Annie Walker wouldn' o'lasted five minutes".
Like all the houses in the Street, The Rovers Return inn has its own history, daring back to 1902 when along with the rest of Coronation Street it was built. The brewery was responsible for the building of the public house and had planned to name it "The Coronation" to change their minds when the street itself was named "Coronation Street".
