Take a trip down to Penny Lane, another famous area of Liverpool, England, immortalised in the song of the same name
As you stroll around seeing the sights of Penny Lane, you can hardly help have this song play over and over in your mind
Also, probably not unlike the millions of visitors who have visited Penny Lane since the late 60’s, you’’ll just have to try to find the locations mentioned in the song
We don’t want to spoil this experience for you, as you’ll want to explore for yourself, but what we can tell you is there are many things here
today that would have provided The Beatles their inspiration for this song: the barber shop, the bank, the shelter in the middle of the roundabout , the fire station (which is actually on Allerton Road)
(Lennon / McCartney)
In Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs
Of every head he's had the pleasure to have known.
And all the people that come and go
Stop and say hello.
On the corner is a banker with a motorcar,
The little children laugh at him behind his back.
And the banker never wears a mac’
In the pouring rain, very strange.
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit, and mean while back
In Penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass
And in his pocket is a portrait of the queen.
He likes to keep his fire engine clean,
It's a clean machine.
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
A four of fish and finger pies
In summer, mean while back
Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout
The pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
And though she feels as if she's in a play
She is anyway.
In Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer,
We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim.
And then the fireman rushes in
From the pouring rain, very strange.
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit, and mean while back.
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
There beneath the blue suburban skies,
Penny Lane.
The 'shelter in te middle of a roundabout'
As you can probably imagine, Liverpool City Council have gone through their fair share of Penny Lane street signs over the years
The Penny Lane signs fitted now are tamper proof, but if you do want to take a souvenir home, you can actually purchase Penny Lane signs at many shops across the city
If you do struggle to find one, a good bet is The Beatles Shop in Matthew Street in the city centre
Penny Lane is situated in the Mossley Hill area of Liverpool, off Allerton Road
