Calcutta Street is a thoroughfare located in Weatherfield. It was the location of the Weatherfield Community Hall, the birthplace of Joseph Brown in December 2011, which remained a focal meeting point of young people until late-2016, when the building faced demolition along with the adjacent Carter Warehouse. Illegitimate businessmen Pat Phelan and his crooked business partner, Vinny Ashford, attempted to pull off a scam redevelopment programme which saw some residents of Coronation Street sink money into purchasing non-existent flats; the scam eventually fell through when Vinny ran off with the proceeds, betraying Phelan in the process.
