Mendips
Mendips on Menlove Avenue in Liverpool is the house where John Lennon grew up, raised by his Aunt Mimi in a neat semi-detached home that feels remarkably ordinary given the extraordinary music it nurtured. Walking through the rooms where Lennon practised guitar in the porch and wrote his earliest songs is a quietly moving pilgrimage for music lovers. The house has been carefully preserved to reflect the 1950s era, making it feel genuinely lived-in rather than museum-like.
