Childhood homes<br />

Travel back <strong>to</strong> a time when John and Paul were young<br />

and visit their childhood homes. <strong>The</strong> unassuming houses<br />

– John’s home, Mendips, on Menlove Avenue and Paul’s<br />

terraced house at 20 Forthlin Road – are both owned by<br />

the National Trust and open <strong>to</strong> the public between March<br />

and Oc<strong>to</strong>ber.<br />

You can also go <strong>to</strong> George’s and Ringo’s childhood homes<br />

at Arnold Grove and Admiral Grove, but as these are<br />

private houses you can’t <strong>to</strong>ur the inside. Instead, you’ll<br />

just have <strong>to</strong> imagine what Ringo’s 21st birthday party at<br />

Admiral Grove was like – apparently a star-studded guest<br />

list, including Cilla Black and Gerry and the Pacemakers –<br />

turned up <strong>to</strong> celebrate at the small terraced house.<br />
