    Every time i drive past John's old house, i look up at the bedroom window & say " alright John lad", even though i only live 10 minute's away from these 2 places, its still a thrill to see them, at 68 i just missed out on the lads, but my sister used to go & watch them in the Cavern in the early 60s. They did us proud they did.

    I can’t even for a second comprehend in my mind that those geniuses used to walk these very same footsteps. They achieved and attained such a massive status that you almost forget they were real people who like eveyone else who struggled and had emotions and dreams and hopes.

    John used to enter Strawberry Field from Vale Road, which runs from the corner and around back of his house. He used to jump the wall there and enter the thick trees and woods, which now is a housing estate so it looks much different now.

      Thanks for the video! Hard to believe I took that same walk 42 years ago. After knocking on "Aunt Mimi's door" in December '81, a woman answered but denied my request to take a quick look-see. I then took your route to Strawberry Fields. The gates were wide open, so I walked right in. Earlier that day, the owner (Mr. Jones) of McCartney's former home on Forthlin Rd opened his door and was very hospitable, allowing me in. I really can't blame the woman in the Menlove home.....I'm sure she had grown tired of all the requests. Still, two wonderful memories!

The roads are there for named after all the local councillors. No problem - except the councillor Linforth did not want his name included! So granddad simply reversed the two sections of his name!

    What a lovely idea! Thank you for posting this. How about a walking trip from Mendips to 20 Forthlin Rd one day? How cool it would be to see the path John and Paul traveled to one another's homes! 🙂

They hooked me up with a private tour guide who took me everywhere, even Julia's grave (shh-not alowed) and Elinor Rigby's grave. (yes, she existed) Ask at front desk. While in the yard where Paul & John met, we saw the tour bus go by - they only slow down for the photo op and don't see Elinor's grave across the street!
      I also took the Trust tour and was inside Lennon and McCartney's homes, even the bathrooms with original linoleum!

      John, Paul and George went to grammar schools. To attend grammar school, you had to pass an exam called 11+ at eleven years old. Only 25% who entered passed. Grammar school education was very academic (George complained of having to learn latin). It was a gateway to Oxford and Cambridge, if you were gifted and/or put the work in. Hardly "working class". Ringo lost a lot of time at primary school due to illness which would have affected his ability to pass the 11+. I always thought John's "Working Class Hero" to be a bit patronising.

    It may be a nice house, in a nice middle class area but that ignores the long lasting trauma of Lennon's early childhood, being pulled from pillar to post early on by his mother and father and then, at the age of five, being left in the care of a loving but stern and unsympathetic aunt and being separated from his mother for a number of years. Plus, Aunt Mimi wasn't that comfortably off, she had to take in lodgers to help pay the mortgage.
