For most Beatles fans on their Beatles tour of Liverpool, they will see the red gates at Strawberry Field on Beaconsfield Road and have their photograph taken. However, this was the original entrance to Strawberry Field, but not the Strawberry Field that John Lennon was recreating in his mind when he wrote: "Strawberry Fields Forever".
Follow Professor Paul Farley and Beatles historian David Bedford as they take you to the REAL Strawberry Field to John Lennon and his friends.
What inspired John? Why was the wall so important to the young Lennon and his friends? And which book inspired his imagination to play where "nothing is real"?
David Bedford is a Beatles historian and author of several books on The Beatles, including his worldwide most popular book, “Liddypool: Birthplace of The Beatles”. Find out more about David at [ Ссылка ]
