Knebworth Park from the air · 10–11 August 1996
An empty field in Hertfordshire. Open the gates: each tap lets in 12,500.
It started with a record shop on Fog Lane and a basement on Little Peter Street. Five years later it was this field. Wait for green, then go and stand where it happened.

The cover of (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? was shot on Berwick Street at about 5am on a Sunday.
The two men passing are Brian Cannon and the DJ Sean Rowley; the producer Owen Morris is in the background. It was chosen because the street was full of record shops. At that hour it was empty.
5am. The street is empty. Shoot.
Cannon’s design company, Microdot, made the sleeves for everything Oasis released in the 1990s. Berwick Street Market dates back to 1778. Sister Ray and Reckless Records still sell vinyl on the street.
