Cromford Railway Station, Derbyshire. Cromford Railway Station, Derbyshire.
The railway station featured on the cover of the Oasis single ‘Some Might Say’ is Cromford, part of the branch line from Derby to Matlock. The Gallaghers are clearly visible on the sleeve - Liam is on the bridge whilst Noel holds the watering can. The station, constructed in 1860 in a French style, was once part of the main line to Buxton and Manchester. If you find yourself on this train, don’t miss a trip to the Peak District to soak up some breathtakin
