Home where music legend John Lennon practiced with The Beatles bandmate as teenager sells to fan at auction
The family home where music legend John Lennon practiced with The Beatles bandmate Sir Paul McCartney as teenager has sold at auction. The modest three-bedroom semi in Blomfield Road in Allerton, Liverpool, played a instrumental role his musical development and was flogged for just less than £280,000.
Omega Auctions said the house - described as a generous sized corner plot with front, side and rear gardens - was bought by a UK-based 'big Beatles fan' for £279,500, reports the ECHO. From 1950 to 1958 John’s mother Julia and his sisters, Julia and Jackie, lived in the three-bedroom council house with his mum’s new partner John ‘Bobby’ Dykins.
Lennon lived with his aunt Mimi in nearby Menlove Avenue and was a frequent visitor to the house during the 1950’s, where he would often stay over. Lennon and Sir Paul McCartney rehearsed at the house when they formed their first band The Quarrymen as teenagers in 1956. "The bathroom in our little house in Blomfield Road was probably one of the smallest in Britain. To see John, Paul, George, Pete Shotton, Ivan Vaughan, my mother and probably a couple of hangers-on scrambling around inside, trying to find a place to sit, was like a comedy act.
