The Rovers Return Inn, also known simply as the Rovers, is a fictional public house in the long-running British soap opera Coronation Street.
The Rovers Return occupies a corner of the fictional Coronation Street and Rosamund Street set location in the show. The pub was constructed by the fictional brewery Newton and Ridley.
The name comes from the Ye Olde Rovers Return in Withy Grove, Manchester, a 14th-century building that operated as a licensed public house but ceased to be so in 1924 and was demolished in 1958.[1]
The fictional pub has had three in-universe layouts. The original layout generally consisted of the style of a public bar. The fictional pub was later destroyed after a fire, caused by character Jack Duckworth. Later, the original layout was replaced by a single bar, until once again, being destroyed by a fire.
