Tim Collis and husband Ryan Phelps bought the abandoned cottage at Cromford Station, in Derbyshire, and turned it into a holiday home - not knowing it had once been used for the famous Oasis album cover. Now they are awash with fans coming for selfies.

00:00So Tim, Tim Collies from Cromford here in Derbyshire.
00:29We bought it in 2007 and it was completely derelict on a national register called the
00:34at-risk register which means it's in danger of falling down, that's the sort of state
00:38it was in.
00:39There was no glass on the windows, there was holes in the roof and the interior was completely
00:43missing so it was just a shell inside.
00:46No it isn't, the single, second single some might say, no it isn't and in fact we bought
00:51the property for the house not the cottage and so we've seen the house a couple of times
00:56when we actually moved into the house and we found the seven-inch version of that single
01:01framed in the dining room.
01:03So we knew then that there was a connection between that and the Oasis some might say
01:07single.
01:08Obviously since they announced, I mean people know, people have known for a while, we've
01:12had the odd person coming around, the odd enquirer but since the band announced their
01:17tour and they get back together again we've had loads of enquiries.
01:20Holiday Cottage, two websites we're on, people deal with long weekends or a full week, whatever
01:27the guest wants to do really, we just work around the guests.
01:30Lots booking next year around the concert times, we aren't that far from Manchester.
