Is the Ringo House Still there?

Or are the houses demolished already?

[DaisyChains]

yeah ringo's house is still there. None of those Welsh streets have been demolished yet. But alot of the lower end nearer Princes Road are empty.

[Max]

Cool.

I plan to take a pic of the Ringo House before It's taken down brick by brick and restored In some new Museum so the photo will be unique.

It must be one of the most photographed houses in Liverpool, so it won't be unique, but I'm sure it'll be Godlike, Max.
Your photos are really good these days.

Haha, yeah loads take pics of Beatle places.

Alot of the Beatles related pics though lack blue sunny skies though so In a way It can be Unique.

The window was not bricked up. It was simply an architectural feature typical of the 6 room Welsh builders terraced house design. You see them all over Liverpool. The Welsh streets were tree lined. Several of these Welsh Streets still have surviving large trees, see photo below.

Your welcome Taff..

Thanks taffy. Seems like a lot of effort and expense to have gone into, tbh. Maybe they had a cartful of spare lintels...

Incidentally, No. 9 Madryn St. is perfectly square, I've got some uncorrected barrel distortion on my pic - which was a passing snap whilst we took a detour in a rush to get somewhere else entirely.

AP.

I think the Starkey's swapped houses with a relative as Admiral Grove was a bit bigger.

[piggyjo]

Is the house still there now? I signed the petition a long time ago and am trying to find out how things went. :)

The streets are still there.

I've not noticed the house with all the flowers outside everytime I went down there.

I prefer the look of these brick houses over the modern estate looking houses they build, the Ringo houses are more colourful.

[Ged]

They're now all empty and the Welsh streets along with 5 or 6 other demolition areas have recently been put on the 'streets ahead' page of my site below.

That story is full of misinformation.

That house was being photographed from very early on. Ringo's mum told us fans were climbing up the drainpipe to look into his bedroom (funny story there but I had best not repeat it!) When he first joined the Beatles girls started going to the house, Mrs. Graves felt very sorry for them as some of them had come from out of town so she gave them tea!

Oooh,eh lah!!:nod:

Did I get a tad possessive then? lol I have some of those Beatle's magazines and the 1964 Newsweek which just had the four haircuts basically, lol

John and Paul gave me armsful (is there such a word?) of stuff fans had given them one night outside the Cavern but tons of what seemed to be 15 year olds begged me for them and at 20 I felt I should give them even though I did not want to. I gave them everything:disgust:

Still, in my will I want all my Beatles stuff to go home so I hope one of my cousins is a Beatles fan.:) I should find out before I make my will out!

[wsteve55]

There's a great exhibition of Liverpool music, on at the museum. There's plenty of memorabilia on show, including some stuff that I've hung on to myself! Maybe when you go on to join the lad's,as it were,(George & John)you could leave your "stuff" to them,for posterity!:nod:

I lived in the house two doors away from her on the left... she is a lovely woman. I can't remember a time she didn't have flowers outside.

Did she plant the tree :Colorz_Grey_PDT_24:
