https://www.cavernclub.com/lat…..te-beatle/FRIDAY, 24 MAY 2024Today, the late Beatles legend George Harrison was commemorated with a prestigious Historic England Blue Plaque at his birthplace and childhood home, 12 Arnold Grove, Wavertree. The plaque was unveiled by his widow, Olivia Harrison, in a heartfelt ceremony celebrating Harrison’s profound impact as a music icon, songwriter, and humanitarian, and his deep connection to Liverpool.
Nice! When I was in Liverpool two years ago, I didn’t see anything around 12 Arnold Grove that referred to George being born there. The childhood homses of Paul and John had of course signs by the National Trust and Ringo’s crib had a huge mural painting on the side of the Empress Pub.

Oh, I didn’t catch on that different entities did blue plaques. Yes, a little background on the different ones and which Beatles ones issued by each group would be helpful.
I’m looking into this, @Ahhh Girl, but it may take a while because there are quite a number of plaques – and I have some major work projects at the moment. I’ll let you know when I have compiled the info.

Offline Hello lads and ladies. After securing tickets for the Macca Got Back tour in Manchester on 14th December 24 I plan to visit Liverpool before the concert.
My plan is to arrive in Manchester in Tuesday evening and then head for Liverpool on Wednesday. My question would be: how many days should I plan for Liverpool. I want to see the birthhouses, Cavern Club, Penny Lane , Strawberry Fields, The Beatles Story, maybe the Liverpool Beatles Museum, the statues on the big placa. I want to see anything there is to see. Ringos Sentimental Journey House and so on.
Do you think 3 days (Wed-Friday) is enough? We would travel to Manchester on Friday evening or Saturday morning for the concert.

Offline @KyleKartan I think that is a good amount of time. I quite enjoyed the Fab Four Taxi Tour when I visited Liverpool, it’s great for visiting many of the different Beatle locations in a short space of time. You go to a lot of their childhood homes, the church where Paul and John met, the grave of Eleanor Rigby , Penny Lane , Strawberry Fields, then you get dropped off at the Cavern on Mathew Street. (I haven’t been on the Magical Mystery bus tour, this is similar but it seems like you can’t get out of the vehicle as often.)
You must must must go on the National Trust tour of inside Paul and John’s homes. This was the place that made me the most emotional, it feels magical. And the statues by the docks as you mentioned.
I did enjoy the Beatles Story museum, although it feels like a commercial place. A non Beatles fan would enjoy it very much, but it doesn’t feel as authentic as the actual places The Beatles lived and visited (in my opinion). I think you mentioned that your fiance wasn’t as much of a diehard fan, so they might enjoy this museum!

Offline New – A Hard Day’s Night exhibit at The Beatles Story. The story doesn’t say how long the exhibit will be there. I hope some Forumpudians can see it.
https://www.beatlesstory.com/n…..ncement/ (Click on the link and be sure to scroll down to the bottom of the page and watch what happens. I’ve not seen that on a website before. I like.)
Snippets from the article
Step on set and become immersed in recreations of key scenes from the movie. Walk onto the platform at Marylebone Station and relive iconic clips from the film.
Come face-to-face with pieces of original memorabilia from 1964, including a very rare copy of the “A Hard Day’s Night” album signed on the front by all four Beatles, as well as original movie posters, lobby cards and cinema tickets!
For the special exhibition, The Beatles Story have worked with tailor Gordon Millings to recreate the silver-grey suits worn by the Fab Four in the final scenes of the movie “A Hard Day’s Night” using the original patterns drawn in 1964. On working with The Beatles Story, Gordon Millings said:
“Reviving the silver-grey suits from ‘A Hard Day’s Night’ has allowed me to honour my father’s legacy and the lasting influence of The Beatles. By using my father’s original patterns and fabric from the same Savile Row supplier, as well as the original techniques used by my father and I in 1964, we’ve recreated the suits with great attention to detail. This collection of suits is a bridge between past and present, and I cannot wait for fans to see them.”

Offline The Jacaranda now has a Beatles Plaque.
https://www.bbc.com/news/artic…..l58g9dqn9o
The site of The Beatles first ever performance is set to be honoured with a commemorative plaque.
John Lennon , Paul McCartney and George Harrison played alongside Stuart Sutcliffe – the band’s original bass guitarist – and Pete Best, the original drummer, at the Jacaranda on Slater Street in Liverpool in August 1960.
The World Origin Site plaque will acknowledge the “hidden gem where the band cut their teeth” before their breakthrough Hamburg tour.
Graham Stanley, director of the Jacaranda, said the World Origin Site status was an “amazing privilege”.
Mr Stanley said: “We have always been proud of our Beatles heritage, but we haven’t had a clear way to explain it until now.”
“It probably wasn’t a big gig for the band; their name and reputation were really made during the Hamburg tour which began just days later. But our venue is where they adopted the most famous band name in history.”
Diane Glover, of The Beatles Story museum, said she was thrilled the “birthplace of Merseybeat, the legendary Jacaranda, is getting its due recognition with a green plaque”.
“This hidden gem was where the band cut their teeth, and this award cements its place as a cornerstone of Liverpool’s musical heritage.”
@Richard – one to add to the list – maybe? This is different than Blue Plaques.

Offline 2 Months from my Manchester/Liverpool trip. I’ve made a list of things I want to see in Liverpool:
Statue of the fab four
Penny Lane (street sign and street)
Strawberyy Fields incl. Exibition
Beatles Story
Liverpool Beatles Musseum
Pauls Childhood home
Johns Childhood home
Georges Childhood home
Ringos Childhood home (Album Cover Sentimental Journey)

I am considering taking the Magical Mystery Tour – Cavern Club for some of the things to get a good overview.
Is there anything essential missing? Anything some Liverpoodlians would recommend?

Offline We now booked the Magical Mystery Tour for December 12th and Beatles Story and Liverpool Beatles Museum for December 11th. The Tour includes a free entry to the Cavern and they have a Beatles Tribut Band that night. So its fitting. We’ll explore the Town and other Beatles places in the free time and on December 11th 🙂
