A Beatles tour of 47 locations in Liverpool and Wirral in photos and videoclips

+++ In May 2021 AVZINE was rebranded to AidanEyewitness +++
This video feature is a Beatles tour across Liverpool and Wirral, visiting 47 locations connected with the Beatles in their early years. We start at Liverpool Airport where there is a statue of John Lennon. Then we visit Penny Lane and Strawberry Field before continuing via the Welsh Streets, birthplace of Ringo Starr and Arnold Grove, where George Harrison was born to the city centre. We look at many plaques, blue and in other colours as well, some with photos of the Beatles on them. We see statues of the Beatles, on the Pier Head and on the Hard Day's Night hotel.

We cross the Mersey to see some of the locations associated with them there. The Tower Ballroom and New Brighton Pier are sadly gone. We learn also about the sad fate of the MV Royal Iris. The Beatles played on the Royal Iris, along with Gerry and the Pacemakers and Liverpool bands. We visit the Majestic Ballroom Birkenhead and Port Sunlight before returning across the Mersey to visit Mathew Street.

Special thanks to the people at the Victoria Hall, Higher Bebington for allowing me to use two photographs from their website www.victoriahallhrbebington.co.uk. Credit: Photo: Courtesy of the Trustees of Victoria Hall Community Trust Ltd.

We make a special trip to the Casbah Coffee Club before returning to tick off the Beatles Story, the Peace Monument and the homes of Paul and John. It's a journey within a city. The AVZINE channel is concerned with cities and journeys. I hope to upload a feature on the Beatles in Hamburg soon.
