Granada Studios Tour had also featured the shop featured in Sooty & Co. One of the country's most famous Wurlitzer organs made regular concert appearances in an "old-style" venue, but following the closure, was sold to Folly Farm in Tenby. Bill Bryson visited the Tours and talked about it in his book Notes from a Small Island. He praises highly the House of Commons show. Closure As the 1990s drew to a close, the theme park gradually fell into neglect and disrepair, and visitor numbers fell. Granada was going through a period of unprecedented change, and many of the company's divisions were sold off in the wake of OnDigital's collapse.

After the closure of the tour, the exterior set was seen more often in the soap. The former Baker Street building was turned into a new studio for Coronation Street, named Stage Two, containing more studio sets. In 2008, a rumour was circulated that ITV were considering reopening the tour as well as licensing real 'Rovers Return' pubs. These reports came to nothing, as it would have involved a considerable
