Pinpoint
20 Forthlin Rd, Liverpool L18 9TN
This ordinary Liverpool terraced house was Paul McCartney's childhood home, kept much as it would have been in the 1950s and marketed jointly with John Lennon's boyhood home, Mendips, as the Beatles Childhood Homes tour. There are no visitor reviews on file yet for this listing, so specifics of the visit experience aren't available here. What's clear from the notes is that the appeal is biographical rather than architectural - an ordinary house made significant by who grew up in it.
Worth the trip
The house's plain domestic ordinariness is itself the point - a genuine, unaltered glimpse of the world McCartney grew up in.
Before you go
This property is only accessible via the joint minibus tour with Lennon's childhood home, so it can't be visited independently or on a whim.
