A couple bought an abandoned Victorian train station before transforming it into a holiday cottage having no idea it was the scene of one of Oasis' most famous record covers.<br /><br />Tim Collis, 58, and husband Ryan Phelps, 53, purchased the derelict master house and waiting room at Cromford Railway Station in Derbyshire for £390,000. <br /><br />But it was only when they got inside their new home and saw the artwork for Oasis' first number one Some Might Say that they realised they had purchased a piece of Britpop history.<br /><br />The Grade II-listed station is featured on the cover of one of Oasis' most famous singles which was released in 1995 and helped shoot them to superstardom.<br /><br />In the photo, Liam Gallagher can be seen waving from the railway bridge while brother Noel is sprinkling a watering can on the platform below. <br /><br />Tim said enquires for bookings had "gone supersonic" since news of the reunion was announced while fans have been flocking there for selfies and to recreate the cover. <br /><br />And he revealed despite being an Oasis fan, he did not know about the historic building's connection with the band until after he bought it.
