The Beatles: Liverpool Landscapes

Published 1st May 2026 The Beatles Liverpool Landscapes explores the Beatles' family links with Liverpool, delving deeply into the history of the band and the city. We explore the Irish Lennons’ 1840s dockland streets, the McCartneys’ Everton, the Harrisons’ Wavertree, and the deep roots of the Starkeys in Toxteth. The book also explores the city landscapes directly associated with the band. We follow Ritchie Starkey from Madryn Street to Admiral Grove, we shadow George Harrison to school along Church Road, we watch birds in Paul McCartney’s Speke and we watch as John Lennon is hauled out of a fight on Penny Lane. The book is brought right up to date with a walk through the city centre’s Beatles links, and closes in the National Trust properties of Mendips and Forthlin Road. Author biography David Lewis has spent many years exploring Liverpool and Merseyside, either on foot, through the archives or through photographs, and he has worked with photographers and other writers on exhibitions and radio pieces about the city. He now lives in the Welsh Marches and his walk blogs and Seasonal Journals reflect his love for both rural and urban landscapes. ISBN: 9781780916415 eISBN 9781781563373 - Available at Amazon
