Talbot Road

Talbot Road is a thoroughfare on the south side of Weatherfield, opposite to the area of the borough where Coronation Street is located.

One night in February 2019 Cathy Matthews was making her way down the road in a taxi when she saw a paralytic Abi Franklin there, staggering along with a can in her hand. She offered her a lift but only gained a mouthful of abuse in return. The encounter proved a god-send for Abi though as Peter Barlow's boat had been set on fire at much the same time and Abi was the prime suspect for the attack as he had jilted her earlier that day. Cathy's sighting provided her with a much-needed alibi.
