Ringo’s early home in line to be razed

A city council committee in Liverpool, England, has approved the demolition of a childhood home of former Beatles drummer Ringo Starr, concluding that the property had no historical significance. The Victorian terraced house is one of 460 properties marked for demolition for a redevelopment project.

“Ringo Starr lived in the Madryn Street house for about three months before he moved to Admiral Grove, where he lived for about 20 years,” said Flo Clucas, the council’s executive member for housing. “John Lennon and Paul McCartney’s childhood homes were preserved because they spent a significant part of their lives in them.”
