For older people, and in particular those suffering from dementia, a metaphorical trip down memory lane can be an effective form of therapy.

Now a nursing home has gone one step further by building the real thing.

From Wednesday, residents at the Five Rise Nursing Home in Bingley can take a stroll down an artificial street designed to resemble how the West Yorkshire town looked in the 1950s.

The “Coronation Street-style” parade of shops is made up of outlets which the patients, most of of whom have some degree of dementia, may remember from their youth.

This includes the Seven Dials Barbers, Bingley Grocers and an old fashioned Post Office complete with period weighing scales.

The scene even comes with an authentic vintage car and motorbike parked on the recreated street.

Meanwhile the “bus stop” accurately resembles its real-life predecessor and is faithful to the detail of the original down to the exact routes and timings listed on the sign.
