A unique range of pies has reportedly been created to mark Coronation Street's 50th anniversary.

Hungry fans will soon be able to get their hands on the three Street-themed treats, which include a Steak And Coronation Street Ale variety.

The tasty delights will cost £2.49 each and have been created by pie maker Holland's, based in Baxenden, Lancashire. A spokesperson for the company told the Sunday Mirror: "This is the perfect vehicle to help us create brand awareness in the rest of the country."

Under the soap's half-century celebrations, breadmaker Warburtons was unveiled as the show's first 'Best of British' brand partner.

A Weatherfield Nintendo DS game, an official beer, as well as tea sets and lingerie are among other ideas which have been mooted for the jubilee.

A play showcasing the show's five decades has also been announced, while a separate musical is rumoured to be in the works.
