This place may be cemented in Oasis history, but there's more to it than just Brit Pop
“’Cos I've been standing at the station, in need of education in the rain.” Any self-respecting Oasis fan will recognise these lyrics from the hit single ‘Some Might Say’. The words are reflected on the cover art for the single, which shows Noel Gallagher standing on a station platform holding a watering can and Liam Gallagher looking down from the bridge above.
I was soon “standing at the station” from ‘Some Might Say’, which was released as the first single on the iconic album ‘ Morning Glory’ in 1995 and became the band’s very first number one single in the UK. Over the years it’s attracted tourists looking to take a snap of this building cemented in pop history.
Located in a converted Georgian-era house, the shop sells a wide range of new and second-hand books. This indie bookshop, which recently celebrated its 50th anniversary, also has a vegetarian café upstairs, making it the perfect place to grab lunch and spend an hour perusing some of the thousands of titles on offer.
