The characters on Corrie are usually taller and younger than the actors who play them. That is a show with a very average (if not less than average) height range. Very few actors are 6' (Dev and Kirk are close) and Walsh would have been moderately taller than most - approximating a 5'10" height on the show.
I've watched that show since I was kid - it was a staple of my grandmother. Being Canadian and of British heritage, there's something about it's raw humour and blue collar smalltown-ness which is appealing.
Johnny Briggs is a small man. He was on a Canadian Talk Show (The Hour) promoting donations for Altzheimers and he was at least three inches shorter than George, the host who's only 5'8."
Bill Roache, (Linus's dad) another staple on that show, is not big either - I think he may even have shrunk to 5'7.5"
Cheers, mates. Mike says on 5/Jan/07
According to "Frankie" on Coronation street while they were looking for him, she described him as 5'10''

I'm a photographer for a local newspaper and took lots of photo's of Bradley for a panto launch. He is about 5'8... No more than that. I'm 5'7 and he was hardley any taller than me, and I had flat shoes on. Paul says on 5/May/06
Could be...I was going by Johnny's height given on here. Paul says on 22/Mar/06
Looks about 5'10 in Coronation Street if Johnny Briggs is 5'6 1/2. Martin Holmes says on 25/Feb/06
