THE BEATLES Legend GEORGE HARRISON's Childhood Home Up For Auction
November 8, 2021, 3 years ago
BBC News is reporting that the childhood home of George Harrison is up for auction.
The Beatles guitarist moved to 25 Upton Green in Speke, Liverpool, in 1949 when he was six years old. He rehearsed with John Lennon and Paul McCartney at the house, which the Harrisons left in 1962 just as the Fab Four were about to hit the big time.
Auctioneer Paul Fairweather said the three-bedroom property was "a steal" at an estimated price of between £160,000 and £200,000.
Harrison, the youngest of four children, previously lived with his parents Harold and Louise - and the family's pet cockerels - in a small house in Arnold Grove, Wavertree. The Harrisons had been on a rehousing list for about 18 years when the opportunity arose to move to the new Speke housing estate.
Harrison continued to go to Dovedale Primary School, which was also attended by Lennon - although they were unaware of each other due to the two-and-a-half year age gap. Lennon's skiffle group The Quarrymen rehearsed at 25 Upton Green when he, Harrison and fellow member Paul McCartney were teenagers.
