Weatherfield Canal

The Weatherfield Canal is a canal located in Weatherfield. After Richard Hillman failed to kill his family by gassing them in the family car in the garage of 8 Coronation Street, he had headed to the canal and drove in when being pursued by Tommy Harris, Kevin Webster and Martin Platt. Richard had drowned in the canal, whilst his wife Gail, her children Sarah and David and granddaughter Bethany where rescued. Gail later returned to the canal that night to identify Richard's body, before throwing their wedding ring in the canal.

Over four-years later, a disturbed David had returned to the canal and drove into it in an attempt to ruin his sister Sarah's wedding day. Gail had gone back to the canal whilst police removed David's car and the canal was searched for his body. David however had survived the incident and returned to No.8 much to the relief of his family (except Sarah who had realised he succeeded in his plans to ruin her wedding).
