Strawberry Fields....yada...Lenno....yada....

Yeah, I knew all that. I assumed there would be some kind of mamorial to the REAL strawberry fields. I thought it would be a bit more grand than that so I just assumed that some kid had scrawled 'strawberry fields' on some wall somewhere next to some gate and y'all were calling it great. But if that is the only remaining part of the real place then.....it's kind of great....I suppose.

Brilliant!

The ''Strawberry Field'' bit does look like graffiti, though. I thought a rant about kids defacing old gates was coming up when I first saw the picture.

I don't normally hold with graffiti, but in this case it's allowed !
The graffiti is in fact signatures by visiting tourists. It can be interesting reading the names from visitors from all over the globe; USA, Japan, Holland, etc, etc. There are little messages and 'Beatle quotations'

As the site is now empty what do people think are the chances of transforming it into a tourist attraction?

Lemmo...

Yes, it is Beaconsfield rd, but I never thought of what number it would be.
The building hasn't been in use for some time and just lately there has been some talk about building houses or apartments on the site.

Probably flats

When I say tourist attraaction I don't mean camelot, I think a peace centre would be good where people can look at the evils of war in line with Lennon's philosophy.

[johnlemmon]

I heard it was being used by the Salvation Army for a prayer room called the Boiler Room 24/7...

does anyone have a phone number or link

I have some ideas for a plan for its future if anyone is interested...

Beatles to feature on set of stamps

The Beatles are to appear on a set of stamps. The six stamps, issued by the Royal Mail, feature images of the band's most famous album covers.

The collection, which goes on sale in January, includes Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Abbey Road, Revolver, Let It Be and With The Beatles.

A Royal Mail spokesman said: "The Beatles special stamps promise to be a big hit with fans the world over when they go on sale in January 2007.

"Royal Mail is featuring some 1st Class Beatles album covers to commemorate the UK band that stands for all that's great in popular culture."
