Does anyone remember this first attempt at a Beatle museum,in Seel st? It opened up in the early 80's,I think,but didn't last very long! The last time I passed,the building was headquarters of P.S.S.

I also remember very few actual items from the Beatles themselves.
Was it on Slater St.?
It was near the bottom of Seel Street by the Rapid Hardware Pine centre which later housed the garden stuff. Not a patch on the current Beatles Story.
That's just a special effect,caused by not getting your film developed, for a couple of years!:unibrow:Quote:

Ged,..anyone, do you know what happened to the exhibits,etc, when it closed? Was there any connection to the Beatles story? I think Ringo's Mini,was one I remember!
I thought it all went to the Albert Dock.Quote:

I think it's the same people but don't know for sure. I just remember the Beatles Story growing out of the earlier Beatle City.
I have a plastic shopping bag from there. There was a gift shop
Here is the bag. Photo was of my 'campaign' coat I wore to go door to door in PA for Barack. Yes, for those with good eyesight there IS a Lennon pin in the mix, lol Many people noticed it and all thought it was fun. One guy called inside to his wife to say, 'Got a Liverpudlian here campaigning for the Obama-Lennon team!'

I have Beatle stuff which used to be in there. Those little Beatle magazines, a 1964 Newsweek magazine (now framed and on the wall) an English bubblegum card signed by John and my Cavern card (both now in a frame) The psychedelic posters! All have lived in the bag at some point, lol

It's still at the airport.

Must be. I have another photo of myself and Yvonne at the Albert Dock in the same clothes so must have been the same day.Quote:
