OUR recent story on Bradford actress Rachel Leskovac returning to Coronation Street has prompted this look back at other local cast members - and the day Corrie filmed in the city.

Rachel, who went to St Joseph's College in Manningham, is set to return to Coronation Street in September as Natasha Blakeman, the ex girlfriend of Nick Tilsley. A chance meeting brings the pair together again...but could it spell trouble ahead for Nick's relationship with Leanne?

Take a step back in time on the Corrie cobbles with our picture gallery of familiar faces. Who remembers troubled David Platt (Pudsey actor Jack P Shepherd) as a cute little boy? Do you recall Yana Lumb (Bingley actress Jayne Tunnicliffe) and her comic double act with Cilla Battersby-Brown?

Jack P Shepherd, who went to Stage 84 in Idle, joined Corrie aged 12

And does anyone have memories of Pat Phoenix's big night at Bradford's Rank club? Were you there that night, in 1981. And if you were, did you win the fur coat...?

Pat, who played Street legend Elsie Tanner, has another link with Bradford. She was in rep here in the 1950s, in the early days of her career.
