The Beatles' childhood homes and where they are now
There are few names more synonymous with our city than that of the Beatles.
Four normal lads from Liverpool suburbs would go on to change the the history of music and pop culture. But where did their stories begin?
Paul McCartney's home
The McCartney family moved to 20 Forthlin Road in 1956, and shortly after, mum Mary died of breast cancer. In an interview with the ECHO, Mike McCartney explained how this event, and tough life on Forthlin Road helped shape his career, as well as that of brother Paul.
He said: "It was a warm family home, not as warm as it would have been with a mum around. We lived here when he had no money and no hope- certainly no hope in showbusiness."
The property was bought by the National Trust in 1995, and is labelled by them as "The Birthplace of the Beatles". The trust keep the home in the same condition as it was when Paul was growing up.
