Beatles News Roundup: Penny Lane Art Trail Planned; Don Short's Home Up for Sale, Prague's John Lennon Wall

New art trail would 'revitalise' Penny Lane - BBC

The trail, designed to encourage tourists to spend more time in the area, would feature Beatles plaques, murals and maps.

"Penny Lane is the most famous lane in the world," said Ian van de Waal. "We get international tourists visiting every day and there's not very much for them to see. The idea is to encourage people to walk along the street, take in all the history of the area, spend some money in local businesses and support the local economy."
