Look inside Beatles star George Harrison's childhood home before it goes under the hammer

Tuesday, October 7, 2014

George Harrison’s childhood home is to be sold at auction for a guide price of just £100,000. The modest three bedroom mid-terrace is where George, Paul McCartney and John Lennon held some of their first rehearsals before achieving worldwide success as the Beatles. Now Fab Four fans have the chance to purchase the property when it goes under the hammer at the Cavern Club. George lived at 25 Upton Green in Speke from the age of six, when his parents Harold and Louise moved into the council house in 1949. The family remained there until the early 1960s and it was during George’s final years at the house that he met Paul and John. The house is now being sold at auction after the property’s most recent owner passed away.

The move comes after John Lennon's former childhood home at 9 Newcastle Road, in Wavertree, sold at auction for nearly half a million pounds in October 2013. Stephen Giddins, Regional Sales Director of estate agent Entwistle Green, said: “We are delighted to be acting on behalf of the current owner of 25 Upton Green, a property which has such a unique history. “The Beatles, arguably one the biggest bands of all time, still attract thousands of visitors to Liverpool each year, so to get the opportunity to offer for sale George Harrison’s childhood home is very exciting.

Goerges house?

That's odd. I was there last spring and the tour took us to a street that was named " Arnold Grove " By the way I loved Liverpool, can't wait for a return trip. From Canada.
