Beatles News Roundup: George Harrison's Street Chained Up, David Bailey's Beatles Pics and More

Liverpool street where Beatles legend George Harrison was born puts a chain up...to stop tourists getting in - Daily Mail

They come from Here, There and Everywhere to see the childhood home of the Beatles legend George Harrison.

But residents in the terrace street where the late guitarist spent the first seven years of his life have become increasingly irate at being inundated with tourists and day trippers – and have now chained off the road in an attempt to stop the disruption.

Access to Arnold Grove was restricted earlier this month after residents complained that the number of Beatles fans descending on the street had surged since a blue heritage plaque was put up outside number 12, where Harrison lived, last year. 

A chain now in place across the entrance to the street in Liverpool's Wavertree district carries a sign which says: 'Private Road - Residents Access Only'.

Rare original proof of David Bailey’s 1965 Box of Pin-Ups discovered - The Guardian

David Bailey’s Box of Pin-Ups of 1965 was a defining portrait of the swinging 60s, immortalising some of the most fashionable stars of the era, from John Lennon and Mick Jagger to Jean Shrimpton and Susan Murray.

Now the original proof copy of this landmark portfolio of 36 portraits by one of Britain’s foremost photographers has come to light for the first time. It is the personal working proof copy of David Hillman, the influential graphic designer who went on to give the Guardian a groundbreaking redesign in 1988.
