Description
The Beatles shaped a new look for Liverpool: young, smart, and creative, a long way from the city’s old image as a gritty seaport. But the band had deep roots in this older city which are explored in The Beatles Liverpool Landscapes.
Lost churches and corner pubs on cobbled streets demolished in the 1960s are brought back to life – the old landscapes in which the Beatles’ ancestors lived, worked and drank. The story is full of old Liverpool characters – house builders and policemen, dockers and boiler makers, coopers and shop workers, even a grandfather working his whole life in the world’s biggest tobacco factory.
The book also explores the Beatles’ childhood landscapes and brings the story up to date with a long walk through the Beatles connections of Liverpool city centre. When the world thinks of Liverpool, it thinks of the Beatles; when it thinks of the Beatles, it thinks of Liverpool.
