People wishing to linger at Cromford railway station in Derbyshire can do so overnight, as the waiting room is now a holiday cottage.

The stone building, with the original pitched roof, is situated on the now disused southbound platform.

It was used by Oasis on the cover for their 1995 single Some Might Say.

Lyrics include, “Cos I’ve been standing at the station/In need of education in the rain”, so take on board the advice from the Gallagher brothers and remember your deckchair, book and umbrella.
