NEXT I REMEMBER ENTERING WHAT THE STAR BAR WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE IN HAMBURG..WITH THE SOUNDS OF THEIR PERFORMANCES AND THE ATMOSHERE OF THAT CLUB.....
    THERE IS ABBEY ROAD RECORDING EQUIPMENT AND EARLIER INSTRUMENTS THAT THEY USED INCLUDING THE OLD BEATLES SUITS.....THERE IS ALSO A REPLICA OF THE CAVERN WHERE THEY PLAYED DURING LUNCHTIMES AND IN THE EVENINGS ...IN THERE ALSO WAS..A ROOM WITH A LIFE SIZE SGT PEPPERS ALBUM COVER , THEN THE NEXT ROOM I ENTERED I WAS INSDE A YELLOW SUBMARINE. ..I SOON MADE MY WAY TO A ROOM DEDICATED TO JOHN LENNON AND THEN A ROOM DEDICATED TO PAUL McCARTNEY......DELIGHTFUL.. .TO ANY BEATLES FAN...AND THEN I HAD FINISHED THE TOUR AND RETURNED TO THE STORE WHERE I HAD BEGUN AND THERE ONE COULD BUY PLENTY OF T-SHIRTS AND WHAT EVER ELSE THEY HAD FOR SALE!!!! UNFORTUNATELY,CAMERAS WERE NOT ALLOWED IN THE MUSEUM.. I WOULD HAVE TAKEN A LOT OF PICTURES...A LOT !!!!

    Eleanor Rigby Buried Along
    With Her Name

    Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name
    Nobody came
    All the lonely people

    All the lonely people
    Where do they all belong?

    On the outskirts of Liverpool close to Paul McCartney's childhood home and John Lennon's old school lies St Peter's Church. Walking around the grounds of this traditional parish church one can easily imagine it as the setting for this sad song. Perhaps not such a leap of the imagination as within the overgrown graveyard lies a tombstone bearing her name.

    Another Beatles related statue, but this one is a bit special - I certainly found it moving.

    Eleanor Rigby, from the name used in the Beatles song was actually sculptured by the pop singer Tommy Steele.

    The plaque next to the monument dedicates it 'To All The Lonely People'

    Interestingly, some years ago a grave was found near St Peter's Church in Woolton (where Paul met John) with the name Eleanor Rigby on it.

    To say that much of the tourist industry in Liverpool is dependent upon the Fab Four is something of an understatement. A whole area of the city is named after the 'Cavern', there are museums and tours, and not forgetting the renamed airport.

    At least it provides good material for public art, and one of the most arresting is the Yellow Submarine ready to visit Pepperland and the music-hating Blue Meanies.

    The statue was originally built for the Garden Festival back in the 1980's but is now re-located to an area of open space between the river and the bus station.

    Shall I sing it to you now ?

    Opposite the famous Cavern Club there is a wall of fame, where all stars who ever played here are mentioned. There as well is a disk monument which shows all number one Uk hits that came from Liverpool bands. As for example the Lightning Seeds.

    This is where the house that John Lennon has spent his childhood years with his aunt Mimi exsists. The house is now owned by The National Trust or something like that and opened for public, although it had been not. And it was owned by someone private. So I couldn't distinguish which house was John Lennon's.

    ....picks up the rice in a church where the wedding has been, lives in a dream ...

    Unlike in the Beatles song Eleanor Rigby's staue doesn't pick up any rice and she definitely isn't alive - not even in a dream. But she is lonely! She is made out of bronze and she sits on a bench. Obviously Eleanor is dedicated to "all the lonely people!"

    Inside the figure the artist - Tommy Steele - placed several things so that the statue is full of magical properties: An adventure book (for excitement), a page from the bible (for spiritual guidance), a clover leaf (for good luck), a pair of football boots (for action) and a sonnet (for love).

    As you might have heard Liverpool is the home of the Beatles ;-) And of course the Beatles are the citiy's most popular tourist attraction!

    There's a Beatles museum in Albert Dock. It looks like a bit of a tourist trap to me but from what it says on their website it might actually be quite nice. Unlike most museums in Liverpool this isn't free but rather pricey so I didn't have a closer look yet.

    The National Trust tour bus

    20 Forthlin Road and Mendips, homes of Paul McCartney and John Lennon

    Organized by the National Trust, a tour departs by minibus to both of these homes several times a week (advance booking a must). The custodians of each house, Eric and John, are Beatles fans themselves and lucky enough to actually live in the houses where Paul and John lived until 1963, and where many of their best-known songs were written.

    For a true Beatles fan, stepping into these houses and looking at many of the original furnishings is mesmerizing! You can sit right where Paul and John spent hours upon hours writing most of their early hits in Paul's living room. It was fabulous!

    Booking in advance is a must--the tour departs Wednesday-Sunday (four per day), and there are only about ten spots on each tour.
