Underworld

Underworld was the local factory in Coronation Street. The factory produced mainly underwear and had been owned by multiple people over the years. The factory was first seen in 1990 when the modern side of the street was built. The factory was originally a printing workshop called Dun 2 A T owned by Steve McDonald. Eventually, Mike Baldwin bought the building, named it Underworld, and started manufacturing sportswear. Mike got a contract with Stephen Reid, Gail's brother and representitive of the Canadian company Kbec. When Mike started doing cheap copies of Kbec's goods, Stephen threatened to take legal action against Mike. This was when Don Brennan, who had a grudge against Mike since he sold him a bankrupt garage, set fire to the factory for revenge. Thus, any evidence that Stephen would have used to prosecute Mike had gone up in smoke. When the factory was rebuilt, Mike got a contract with Angie Freeman to manufacture lingerie. The new factory caught fire in 2004 when Janice Battersby caused a fire by dropping a cigarette onto a pile of clothes in the stockroom. Nick Tilsley saved Janice but they both lost their jobs. After Mike died in 2006, his son, Danny ran the factory until 2007 when Jamie Baldwin and Adam Barlow sold it to Paul and Liam Connor. Carla inherited Paul's half of the factory when he was killed in 2007. Liam took on Paul's widow Carla and new comer Tony Gordon. When Liam was murdered by Tony (for having an affair with Tony's fiancee Carla), Tony took over. Underworld was destroyed by a fire on 9th June 2010.

The owners of the factory over the years have been:
