LECTURE 6: MEET THE BEATLES (PART 1): Here’s an actual recording of The Quarrymen (The Quarry Men) skiffle group playing on July 6, 1957, the historic day John Lennon met Paul McCartney. Lennon’s group performed on the back of a lorry at St. Peter’s Church Rose Queen garden fete. One of the people in the audience, police officer Bob Molyneux recorded the set on a portable Grundig TK8 reel-to-reel tape machine. Six years later, Molyneux attempted to give the tape to Lennon (after contacting Ringo Starr about it), but Lennon failed to respond and the policeman locked the recording away for years. Finally, in 1994, he sold it auction at Sotheby’s for £78,500. Thankfully, the recording has been made public by its owner.

Strawberry Field gates. Nikon F65. Expired Kodak 400.

Strawberry Field was a children's home operated by The Salvation Army up until 2005. It was opened to the public in 2019 and now consists of a shop, cafe and training centre.

The gates which stand on Beaconsfield Road have been a tourist attraction and place of pilgrimage for some years due to the Beatles song.

When io visited I was unable to go into the new facility due to a private function so all i could photograph was the gates.
