Ringo Starr’s Birthplace Will Not Be Granted Listed Status

Well, it’s official. After months of debating the issue, Ringo’s birthplace of 9 Madryn Street, Liverpool, (featured in his latest single ‘Liverpool 8′) will not be granted “Listed” status. Last year, someone made an application to have his home listed (meaning a place that had historical meaning) because it was under consideration to be demolished for plans to renovate the old neighbourhood. As much as I love Ringo, I do understand the reason behind the decision.

A report said:

“It is not associated with the band as a performance, practice or recording venue, or where they lived or composed as a band”

Paul McCartney and John Lennon’s childhood homes are part of the National Trust tour, which means they’re open to the public for viewing and tours are conducted there on a daily basis. If you ever visit Liverpool, they are a must see. You will hear details of some of the Beatles songs that were composed there, and actually see the spots where they were sitting when those songs came to be. A goose bump inducing experience if there ever was one!
