Almost 200 locations linked to the history of rock and pop in England are being celebrated in a new tourism campaign. I'm assuming the Ladbroke Grove flat where we conceived CMU back in early 1998 is included, though I haven't checked. But they've got locations of minor concern in there - like Liverpool's Cavern Club and the former homes of Jim Hendrix and Bob Marley - so I can't believe they'd have left CMU's birthplace out.
Not all of the 130 locations celebrated on the England Rocks map and website are former homes or venues though. There's a few depressing sites, like the site of Marc Bolan's fatal car crash, and the motorway service station where the car of former Manic Street Preacher Richey Edwards was found after he disappeared.
Buildings and sites that appear on legendary album covers, like Battersea Power Station and Chalk Farm Tube station in London, the Empress pub in Liverpool and Mapledurham Watermill in Reading, are also listed.
