Via the BBC:
Signposts for the road name-checked in Sir Paul McCartney's upcoming studio album have been restored following a request from local tour guides.
Tourists have been flocking to Dungeon Lane in the Speke area of Liverpool since the 83-year-old Beatle announced his upcoming album, titled The Boys of Dungeon Lane, in March.
...Beatles tour operators who added the road to their itineraries found their guests were "really disappointed" not to find any signs for a photo opportunity.
Last week Liverpool Council restored the signs in response to the request from the Liverpool City Region Tourist Guides Association.
Jackie Spencer, a Liverpool-based Blue Badge accredited Beatles tour guide, told the BBC fans began making pilgrimages to Dungeon Lane as soon as McCartney spoke about spending time there during his childhood.
She said: "People are going with expectations to see something and there's very little there."
