John Lennon’s family home in Liverpool to go under the hammer
Liverpool played a significant role in both Lennon and Sir Paul McCartney’s musical development, the auction house said. The pair, who would become founding members of the Beatles, rehearsed at the semi-detached house with their bandmates in The Quarrymen without fear of noise complaints from Lennon’s mother Julia. Mrs Lennon lived in the home with her husband John “Bobby” Dykins from 1950 until her death in 1958, with the singer’s sisters Julia Baird and Jacqueline Dykins.
