Coronation Street’s official Instagram account shared a clip of the pub being boarded up and said: “The end of an era. Goodbye to the Rovers as we know it,” with a broken heart emoji.<\/p>\n
The emotional scenes show Jenny handing over the pub’s keys to builders who began boarding up the windows.<\/p>\n
A tearful Jenny walked over to join Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan), Glenda Shuttleworth (Jodie Prenger), and Sean Tully (Antony Cotton) as they looked on at their beloved pub.<\/p>\n
Trying to lighten the mood, Sean noted: “They don’t mess about, do they?” as the builders got to work.<\/p>\n

The Rovers is everything to the characters in the street.”<\/p>\n Another fan said: “The street wouldn’t be the same without the rovers return. It’s the heart and soul of the street.”<\/p>\n One passionate fan exclaimed: “SAVE THE ROVERS RETURN INN!!!!!” (sic)<\/p>\n The first Rovers landlady was Annie Walker (Doris Speed) with notable names above the door over the decades including Bet Lynch (Julie Goodyear), Vera Duckworth (Liz Dawn), Natalie Barnes (Denise Welch) and Liz McDonald (Beverley Callard).<\/p>\n
