The bronze sculpture depicts the famous band The Beatles walking down the street and is placed on Liverpool’s Pier Head. Weighing 1.2 tonnes, it was given to the city by the Cavern Club, the venue synonymous with The Beatles before they rose to fame in the 1960’s.

The Fab Four statue was designed as a way to connect the past, present, and future of Liverpool together with the living history of The Beatles. A way to keep a connection with The Beatles as they were when they were young and full of hope.

Sculptor Andy Edwards said -- he hoped his statue would become “a place of ritual” for people to come together. It was also important to Edwards that the statue not include instruments, gimmicks, or for that part explanation. It represents a moment in time that shot Liverpool into the international conscience, and started the city down a path from which it would never return.
