The Beatles' Childhood Homes - 20 Forthlin Road
Recommended by
Overview
The Beatles' Childhood Homes at 20 Forthlin Road and Mendips are part of a combined minibus tour. 20 Forthlin Road is the former home of the McCartney family, a 1950s terraced house where the Beatles met, rehearsed and wrote many of their earliest songs. Paul's mother, Mary, died when he was in his teens and his father brought the family up alone. The threadbare furnishings reflect the fact that money was tight for the McCartneys. Displays include contemporary photographs by Michael McCartney and early Beatles memorabilia.
