Xfm's Virtual Rock Tour - Manchester

added 27 March 2009 at 13.05

Fresh from (supposedly) spotting Liam Gallagher on Google Street Maps, Xfm decided to have a look at which other great rock landmarks we could spot in the Manchesterford area.

Google Street View is the sensation that's sweeping the (nosey) nation. The monster search engine has "mapped" most of the UK's biggest cities by taking 360-degree photos of pretty much every main street in the land. Xfm decided to see if we could spot some great rock landmarks from around the city. Here's what we found - click on the pics to launch Google Street Maps and take a proper look at the view. Walk around, drink in the atmosphere, see if you can spot other celebs on your travels!
