41 Cranbourne Road — the Gallagher brothers' childhood home, Burnage

Liam and Noel Gallagher grew up at 41 Cranbourne Road in Burnage, a working-class suburb of south Manchester. It was a difficult household — their father Tommy was violent and eventually left the family. Their mother Peggy raised three boys largely alone. Noel left home at sixteen; Liam stayed until Oasis began to take off. The house shaped both of them: the chip on the shoulder, the hunger to escape, the fraternal intensity that powered and eventually destroyed the band.

Oasis were formed in Burnage in 1991, initially without Noel. Liam fronted the early version with school friends. Noel joined the band on the condition that he take creative control — a dynamic that would define Oasis's history. The band's first significant shows were in Manchester before Alan McGee signed them at King Tut's Wah Wah Hut in Glasgow in May 1993.

The house is a private residence and is not marked. Burnage does not have the music-tourist infrastructure of Liverpool, but the area is known to dedicated Oasis fans. The ordinariness of the street — and the distance between it and Knebworth — is part of the Oasis story.
