George Harrison's Childhood Home Honored with Plaque


Via the BBC:

A blue plaque commemorating the life of Beatles legend George Harrison has been unveiled at his childhood home.

His widow Olivia Harrison, who revealed the tribute at the house in Arnold Grove, Liverpool, said it was "a source of family pride".

Harrison lived at the terraced house in the Wavertree district of the city until he was seven.

The plaque is one of the first official English Heritage blue plaques to be put on a property outside London.

...Olivia said Harrison had fond memories of "very tight knit secure family life".

"There was something about these small family places and how you learn to respect other people's space," she said.

"He had a freedom where he could go run down the alley and visit his nan and then back home. That was a big deal for a little five-year-old kid.

"This was his cocoon, and out of that came such an incredible man with such vision and compassion and sensibility."
