The famous Newton and Ridley truck has pulled up in Bolton as filming for Coronation Street gets underway.

TV crews are currently on Le Mans Crescent filming near the old Bolton Magistrates Court.

Bolton has become a go to location for the Corrie production team, with some of the most gripping storylines filmed in the town.

Although, the plotline is not known in the latest shoot, famous Coronation Street trials have taken place in the old court house. 

The current storyline focuses on a police investigation into the murder of Joel Deering ongoing.

The distinctive dark green Newton and Ridley Ales truck was amongst the crew trucks, making reference to the fictional brewery that runs the Rovers Return pub.

Other famous Corrie plotlines have been filmed in the town.

In July 2021 and 2022, the trial following the murder of Seb Franklin was shot in the old Bolton Magistrates Court on Le Mans Crescent. 

Georgia Taylor, better known by fans as Toyah Battersby, was seen on Bolton's streets while the filming went on. 

The soap also visited town a couple of times last year, in April and September - the latter of which also saw the famous Newton and Ridley truck on scene.

Howell Croft North, just off Le Mans Crescent, was turned into London's famous Tottenham Court Road last month for new show The Talamasca. 

The new series is based on Anne Rice's gothic series of novels The Vampire Chronicles. 

The series follows the secret society which is responsible for tracking and containing witches, vampires, werewolves and other creatures scattered around the globe.
