observer Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 The boarded up terraced house in Liverpool, where Ringo Starr was born, and lived for 3 months, is scheduled for demolition, Should it be saved as a tourist attraction?

wolfie Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 I think it should be preserved as a typical Liverpool home - Boarded up with the occupants long gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 In answer to Obs original question.... NO ! Cant see and 'day trippers' wanting to go and look round it as he only lived there for 3 months anyway and it's been borded up and derelict for years But fans are going mad as they say it's part of Liverpools heritage ? Why ? There's even been talks about having the whole house moved to the Liverpool museum Why ? And the national trust apparently already own Lennon and McCartney's childhood homes Why ?

Legion Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I have to say I was listening to the debate on radio two earlier today and my opinion flipped from one side to the other depending on who was talking. I'm not normally caught on the fence. BTW turns out that 3 months was council spin (in favour of rejuvenation) we all know about that don't we he was actually born there and lived until he was five years old. so save it but then the visitors aren't paying tourist as there's no attraction just a dilapidated house without foundations and rotted throughout, people from the area have been promised a rejuvenation for 17 years So knock it down All the other Beatles birthplaces are part of national herritage So Save it. But its entire frontage has already been replaced so its hardly the origianl building So knock it down. (just re read this and the fact the council lied to get their plan into action gets right to my nerves as I see this so much so final word SAVE IT).

Dizzy Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I'm sure Thomas the Tank Engine and Ringo Starr are about the same age.. infact I think Thomas may be slightly older. So "Save Thomas and the Fat Controller instead" is what I say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egbert Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 It should be demolished. And as to the National Trust owning Lennon and McCartney's homes, they should be sold. I am a member of the National Trust and I nearly resigned when I heard they had bought these houses. They are just typical Liverpool council houses. The National Trust should stick to stately homes, country estates, coastal paths and areas of natural beauty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
