The Beatles' Liverpool in the snow - photo special

St Peter's Church, Woolton. It was in the church field that Paul McCartney was introduced to John Lennon by their friend Ivan Vaughan on 6th July 1957. John's band, the Quarrymen, had just played at the Church Fete.

St Peter's Church hall. John and Paul were introduced in the field at the church fete but it was later in the day in the Church Hall where Paul showed John how to play 20 Flight Rock.

Paul claims that the name Eleanor Rigby was made up—Rigby from the name of a shop and Eleanor from actress Eleanor Bron (who was in the movie Help!)—but this gravestone is in the grounds of St Peter's Church, where he would have played as a youngster. Also in the grounds of St Peter's is the grave of George Toogood Smith, the husband of John's Aunt Mimi.

251 Menlove Avenue—Mendips—is where John Lennon lived with his Aunt Mimi from the age of five until 1963. It is now owned by the National Trust (bought and donated by Yoko Ono) and marked by a Blue Plaque.
