Music Road in Liverpool
Liverpool Sighseeings: Music Road
The city of the Fab Four, where The Beatles grew up and established themselves inspired many of their songs, influenced by the city of Liverpool with its lanes, brick roads,atmosphere. You might fancy paying a visit to start with The Beatles Story, award-winning museum: it's on Gower Street and here you'll have a chance to relieve with highlights the whole story of the band!
Before they became famous and hit the world of music, they played live at The Cavern in Mathew Street. This road up to this day remains a lively venue for music, it's filled with pubs and clubs to dig! On the "Wall of Fame" in Mathew Street you'll see a set of gold records, one for each number 1 record from a Liverpool performer. It's a city with such a lively music scene!
On the Mersey, where you'll also find many music shops, in honour of The Beatles' song and film "Yellow Submarine", an actual yellow submarine was built at Cammell Laird Shipbuilding Yard. Since 2000 the City Council decided to move it to the city centre, in Chevasee Park next to Strand Street.
In Liverpool if you get on a "Magical Mystery Tour" you'll be guided to Penny Lane and Strawberry Field spots; actually you won't be far from where John Lennon used to live near Penny Lane in Newcastle Road while Paul McCartney lived at 20, Forthlin Road. Both houses are now owned by the National Trust.
All along Liverpool music roads, you'll breathe in music of past and present times that lingers on and on!
