Among the most iconic spots are The Rovers Return and Underworld factory.
Writing online, however, fans questioned where certain "missing" sets had gone.
One penned: "According to the Corrie wiki, the inside of the kebab shop flat (18a Victoria Street) was last seen in 2019!"
Another commented: "That's insane. Has The Kabin featured yet this year?"
A third person said in response: "No. Hasn't featured since February of 2024."
The Kabin is perhaps most associated with Rita Tanner, its long-standing proprietor.
However, former teacher Brian Packham has owned the newsagents since 2019.
Eagle-eyed viewers pointed out Brian's own flat hasn't been featured for over a decade.
A fan wrote: "Brian's flat (12 Coronation Street) hasn't featured since 2014."
While another shared: "Its definitely lazy to have the kabin interior off screen for so long as well as regular residents flats."
Coronation Street in major leak as fans on set tour sneak into newly re-designed Platt house after epic blaze
Earlier this year, ITV announced from January 2026, Corrie and Emmerdale will be reduced to five 30-minute episodes per week, rather than six, resulting in a one-hour reduction in soap content on the channel.
Bosses attempted to spin the new streamlined output by branding the new soap schedule as ITV's new 'Power Hour', with Emmerdale airing at 8pm followed by Coronation Street at 8:30pm, Monday to Friday.
A TV insider previously told The Sun: 'After the Daytime announcement, the big feeling within the soap departments at ITV is the cost-cutting focus will shift to them.
'There's been some seismic changes already over the past year in regards to penny pinching and many believe that's just the start.
'Given the big audience figures and institutional history within ITV, soaps used to have an untouchable feel about them.
'But that's changed significantly and they now feel more vulnerable than ever.'
A string of Corrie stars — Helen Worth, Charlotte Jordan, Sue Cleaver, Shelley King, Sue Devaney, Colson Smith, Daniel Brocklebank and Luca Toolan — have announced they are leaving or have been written out since November 2024.
Coronation Street airs on ITV1 and ITVX.

Brian May issues emotional message over wife Anita Dobson after health scare
Queen rocker Brian May has shared a rare comment about his actress wife Anita Dobson following her win at the Soap Awards and his terrifying health scare last year Brian May has made a rare comment about his wife Anita Dobson following her Soap Awards win. The Queen rocker, 77, gushed over the actress as she took home the Scene of the Year gong at the annual award ceremony. EastEnders icon Anita, 76, made a dramatic comeback as her beloved character Angie Watts on the soap, and the move secured her win. Speaking before she was presented with the gong, Anita: 'It was just perfect.' Asked if she could return again, she admitted: 'I don't think so, although I should say never say never, it would have to be something extra special.' Brian made sure to congratulate Anita as he issued a public message of support to his wife. Taking to X, he gushed: "Congratulations Anita Dobson!!! "My incredibly talented lady wife --- winner of the Scene of the Year award - for returning as a ghost from another life to shake the East End one more time !! Massively proud !!! Bri." Actress Anita, who has been married to Brian for 24 years, spoke out about the musician's health earlier this year following his terrifying stroke. In September, Brian said that 'out of the blue' he suddenly lost control of his left arm, and was rushed to hospital in an ambulance where he was diagnosed with a stroke. He was later told to take it easy and made the announcement himself with a social media video. Earlier this year, Anita revealed Brian was in a "stable" condition. Anita gave a reassuring four-word answer while on Good Morning Britain. She said: "He's very well now", before adding: "I'm very happy to say, thank you both for asking, he's very well now, he's back to his old self!" The We Will Rock You legend took to Instagram to share the news with his followers last year: "I hope you're all well out there. I'm here to bring you first of all some good news. "I think the good news is that I can play guitar after the events of the last few days and I say this because it was in some doubt because that little health hiccup that I mentioned happened about a week ago and what they called it was a minor stroke and all of a sudden - out of the blue - I didn't have any control over this arm so was a little scary." He also heaped praise on the medical team at Frimley Hospital in Camberley, Surrey, for their excellent care. Brian added: "I have to say I had the most fantastic care and attention from Frimley Hospital where I went blue lights flashing... the lot. Very exciting!" In 2020, Brian also suffered a heart attack, and fears he 'could have died' at the time, having initially thought he had simply suffered a gardening injury. He subsequently had his heart fitted with three stents, which are tiny tubes that hold open blocked arteries, that helped him recover.

JoJo Siwa signs up to reality show as she secretly films in the UK after reuniting with CBB star Chris Hughes
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SHE was the standout star of this year's Celebrity Big Brother thanks to her surprising romance with a housemate. Now JoJo Siwa, who started a relationship with Chris Hughes while she was on the ITV show, is about to compete on the Great British Bake Off.

A TV insider said: "This is a bit of a coup for the Bake Off because Jojo is currently one of the most talked about young stars on TV right now. "She's barely had time to catch her breath, leaving CBB last month amid huge media attention and heading straight into another huge show this month. "It's also a fantastic gig for her because although she already has a fanbase over here, the cookery contest also introduces her to a wider British audience. "Plus she got plenty of experience of cooking in front of the cameras while she was on Celebrity Big brother, though this time she won't have hunky Chris to distract her." Jojo actually became famous for her dancing/baking Tiktoks on the social media site, though they're unlikely to help her much when she's doing it for real. The celebrity version of the Bake Off, whose participants have yet to be confirmed by C4, is being made just before filming of the "civilian" version. Jojo might end up wishing she was back in the house with Mickey Rorrke... The show kicks off this summer with Noel Fielding and Alison Hammond returning to host as well as Paul Hollywood coming back to give the celebs some serious scrutiny in the tent. Channel 4 star Prue Leith has stepped back from all GBBO specials, with cooking expert, and pal, Caroline Waldegrave filling her shoes. Last year, The Sun revealed how Prue had made the decision to step back from the Great British Bake Off specials and focus on the regular series. Channel 4 previously confirmed Prue's close friend Caroline would be taking over her role. Caroline, 72, is a former managing director of Leiths School of Food & Wine, which she bought from Prue in the mid-90s. Married to former Tory politician William Waldegrave, Lady Caroline has also co-written several successful cookery books.
