Beatles Anthology page 1 by ric gustafson
My name is John Lennon. I was born on October 9 1940. I am not the oldest of the Beatles. Ringo was born on July 7 1940. My mother and father split up when I was four. Then I was sent to live with my Aunt. Her name was Mimi. My mother was a housewife, comedienne and a singer. I soon forgot my father.
The first place I lived was in Penny Lane. The house was on New Castle Road. It was a red brick house with three bedrooms. When I moved in with Aunt Mimi, her house was at 251 Menlove Avenue. This was in Woolton.
Liverpool, where I grew up, was a port. It was a very poor city and tough.
From our house, I could see two famous houses. One was Gladstone. It was a reformatory for boys. The other was an old Victorian house. It had been converted for Salvation Army orphans.
It was called Strawberry Field.
