I can’t live so close the city and not post about John Lennon’s birthday. One of Liverpool’s greatest talents was born eighty years ago today. Tragically he was also taken from us 40 years ago and it was only since his death that the city started to erect statues and plaques. The day he was killed there wasn’t one memorial to John or the Beatles in the City. We had to leave flowers next to a car park that had buried the original Cavern Club. The city had yet to awaken to the commercial benefits of the fab four. But boy have they seen the light ! Or rather the cash it brings in !
Anyway, happy birthday John.
The “New” Cavern Club. Built on wasteland years after Lennon’s death. 
The “new” Cavern Club. Similar to how it would have looked in the early 60’s. 
Liverpool, the City that only awoke to the Beatles once John & George has passed away.
