Brian Skelton
★★★★★3 weeks agoPaul McCartneys childhood home from age 14 on. He wrote love me do and let it be here. He wrote when I’m 64 here for his dad whom was at that time 64. A very special place here for Paul and his family.

★★★★★Edited 4 months agoThe third home visit while on the Beatles trail. It's a long walk starting from Liverpool city centre but very worthwhile if you are a good walker you see all the childhood homes of the Beatles walk through some of the iconic places connected to the fab 4 inc Penny lane, Strawberry Fields pick a lovely day take a flask and sandwichs and enjoy the walk.
