20 Forthlin Road
20 Forthlin Road in Liverpool is the modest Allerton terrace house where Paul McCartney grew up, and where he and John Lennon wrote many of The Beatles' earliest songs in the front room. The house is modest by any measure — a standard 1950s council house — but that contrast between its ordinariness and its place in musical history makes it quietly extraordinary. Visits are by minibus from the city centre, adding a gentle sense of shared pilgrimage.
