BEATLES LIVERPOOL PHOTOS FROM 1997

Just got round to scanning in some photos I toolk on a trip to Liverpool back in 1997. Here's some Beatle related ones.

"behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout..." The old bus shelter was the Sgt Pepper Bistro in 1997 - pretty sure that's gone now.


Grave in the St Peters Churchyard opposite the village Hall featuring the grave of Eleanor Rigby.

Intersetingly Paul always maintained he'd made the name up - but maybe subconciously he'd seen this grave.

ORIGINAL SHEET MUSIC

Picked these up quite a few years ago. Individual sheet music for I've Got A Feeling, I'm So Tired, and In My Life.

The National Trust Tour

Its possible to visit John's house - Mendips and also Pauls house in Forthlin Road Liverpool. You can't just turn up, you have to book a coach tour courtesy of the National Trust. Its well worth it though, really interesting - not only to see where they lived but also to visit an ordinary house decked out as they were 50 or so years ago. Brought back memories from my childhood too, with details such as the old airer in the kitchen -I remember we used to have one of those - worked on a pulley system!

SKYWRITING BY WORD OF MOUTH
