Will have to mention that we weren't a nowhere coastal town before the Beatles. Liverpool was one of the most important commercial ports in the world, second only to London in the UK and at the heart of world trade in tobacco, sugar, and especially cotton. For our importance as a port, Liverpool was the second-most bombed city in the UK during WWII. With history dating back to 1207, we've been around a long time. That is important, because our worldwide seafaring connections brought people from all corners of the world, but especially the Irish in the 1840s, that helped to shape the city in to which these four lads were born. In a way, Liverpool is the fifth Beatle! But the next move of taking all of those influences and taking over the world is phenomenal. A once in a millennium chance! Never to be repeated.

My Mum moved round all over the place trying to find a decent life for herself, and us kids, but always ending up in dead end relationship's and disfunctional situation's, which all ended badly. This house looks as though it has a bit of room in it, to.spread out and swing the cat. George had it good and life at home was good and on track. Not that we really know a lot about George and his up bringing, but he seemed to be the one that was more stable than John and Paul as far as his out look on life in general. When he does talk, in an interview or answering question's, he seems down to earth, off the cuff, with quite a lot of sarcasm intertwined into his vocabulary when he answer's a question, or gives his opinion on things. His family must have been a very stable loving caring family, here today, gone tomorrow type of philosophy with life. His profound idea's on life, are reality in the broad sense of how life is. We only have now, all things pass, are gone by the time we think about it ! , no good worrying about tomorrow and the future, because it hasn't arrived yet, there is only now. I too believe this, nothing any of us can do, about the past! for it is gone! just live in and for the moment, now is all we have. Where and how did George come to this?! he had a stable peaceful upbringing and home life was good. Ringo had a similar upbringing with 2 parents who loved and cared for him dearly, his step father loved him as if he was his own. These people never wanted for anything, they, like George's family, were happy with their lot. As Ringo is and has always said! " Love and Peace " be happy, and keep smiling.

The size varied. We came near a corner so had very big gardens. Speke was a nice p.ace to live with plenty of shops and buses into town. Originaly there were beautiful double glass doors from the front room to the dining room. Most people DID NOT just use the front room for visitors only. It was used all the time for family every day. The dining room was just that - the dining room also used for other things such as sewing etc.

I remember staying at my brother's place, he bought a piece of land, 280 hectares, built a house out of recycled material's, dug a huge hole to drop a plastic septic tank into, and eventually he had all his plumbing connected to it, plus the grey water waste went into another water tank, to water his vegetable garden, and fruit trees. But leading up to getting all this done, takes time and money, so he used a spade to go find a spot, dig a hole, after use, cover the hole, and this went on for 20 years, until he finally got things sorted. He loves the isolation, and loves being a hermit. Growing up without these luxuries was all we knew, like a lot of you will know. Where we live now we have a septic system, with a drainage area, once the waste gets through the process, and becomes water again, it drains out into this area. This was all there was back in the 40s and 50s. Every so often a tanker truck comes to empty the waste. That is how the old outside toilets worked. Everyone had them. Later as plumbing engineering improved, people started to have an inside toilet installed. Mid 50s this trend started to appear.

Blinds have been popular here for the last 40-50 years at most. Everything was curtains before that.

Great video is there possibility you you've done the video or can do a video of Paul McCartney's house Ringo Starr's house and John Lennon's house

Hoping to do Ringo's, but we can't film in John or Paul's as they are National Trust properties. A shame.

Bit different to Friar Park eh?

The tours don't go there I assume they think Speke is too rough. Early Speke was nice when there were jobs but went downhill as industry left

Some do, though it is the rough roads with potholes, causing us more problems than anything else!

George was born at 12 Arnold Grove and lived there until just before his 7th birthday, when they moved to this house, 25 Upton Green.

Great work, as always… 👍 (Can't catch what you say at about 10.30 - who lived here as well?)

So are the outside toilet areas heated? Does the water freeze in the winter?

No heated outside toilets mate, not in the 50s & 60s anyway, we lived in an old house down in Liverpool 7 & had an outside loo, but we had one indoors also, so it was never used, but in winter you can imagine how cold it was for people who didn't have one indoors.

Not heated, but unlikely in our climate to freeze at night. Would happen occasionally, but it would be rare.

@@ChristineDelfatti some of my relatives farm houses didn't have indoor plumbing as we know it. You had to use the outhouse, which in northern Indiana was an adventure in the Winter. Summer with the bugs and stench was fun too. Actually, some of my ancestors lived in Liverpool briefly before moving to Indiana.

Not the house where I was shown on the tour of Beatles sites in Liverpool. The house I was shown was terraced house. Harrison himself was supposed to have returned to it before he died . According to neighbours he sat down on the footpath and cried because he was dying and wouldn’t be back again.

You are thinking of the house where George was born at 12, Arnold Grove in Wavertree, where he lived until he was nearly 7.

There would have been a wall between the kitchen and dining room.

Boa noite grande prazer. Sou de Petrópolis município do estado do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Poderia confirmar- me por gentileza, sobre seu pai Harris que foi durante anos presidente do clube dos rodoviários de Liverpool, inclusive, conseguiu agendar um evento no clube para apresentação de um conjunto musical que George fazia parte, aliás, antes de conhecer John. Paul conhecia George ,no Liverpool Institute ,até porque, quando então, Paul subia no ônibus, um ponto adiante ,entrava George. Neill Aspinall foi colega de classe de George, entretanto, Paul conhecia bem George sobre suas habilidades ,inicialmente com violão, posteriormente com a guitarra. Verdade que dona Louise fazia bolos de chocolate por excelência, inclusive, George levava numa merendeira bem guardada, no horário do recreio do colégio que estudava x?
