Beatles Story Museum
The Beatles Story at Albert Dock in Liverpool is a museum dedicated solely to The Beatles.
The Beatles Story went through a major expansion in 2009 where it tripled in size.
The museum presents a chronological history of The Beatles starting with the formation of The Beatles in Liverpool,
to the group's road to fame in Hamburg, London and all over the world.
A second site, just down the street, is the Beatles Story Pier Head in the Mersey Ferry Terminal.
Special exhibits are featured there like White Feather: The Spirit of Lennon
along with the permanent attraction, Fab4D Experience.
The museum is opened every day except December 25-26.
Penny Lane
The city of Liverpool had to start painting the street sign for "Penny Lane" since
people kept stealing the actual signs
Penny Lane is both a street and an area in Liverpool
The original barbershop mentioned in the song Penny Lane is
The Tony Slavin hairdresser shop in Smithdown Place on Allerton Road

A newer shop was recently opened called 'The Barbers'

Liverpool John Lennon Airport
(Photos in this section by Shelley Germeaux)
Located just nine miles from where John grew up on Menlove Avenue, the airport was re-named in 2001, honoring this favorite son whose legacy will never be forgotten. Inside the terminal is a bronze statue of Lennon created by Tom Murphy.
In the parking strip outside, you will now find the infamous Yellow Submarine that used to be on Liverpool's docks. A sign there explains its history. It was relocated at the airport in August of 2000 "for a new generation of fans."
