An artist from Newcastle has created special artwork to celebrate six decades of Coronation Street.

ITV Studios has revealed Leigh Lambert’s artwork illustrating life ‘On the Cobbles’ over the decades. 

The main image sees Coronation Street recreated in Leigh’s 'signature style' and features characters from the past and the present.

The three sketches which accompany the collection feature a 'Love Story', the famous pigeons (‘They Always Come Home’) and the opening scene of the first ever episode (Our Kid’s Up Shop).

"Leigh’s an incredibly collectable artist and we’re excited to see this celebration of ‘Corrie’s 60th become a part of art history - as well as giving fans of the show the chance to own a little part of Corrie history"
