ITVx: Key to Sir Paul McCartney’s childhood home in Liverpool to go up for auction
The key to Sir Paul McCartney’s childhood home is to go on sale at auction, where it is expected to fetch up to £3,000.
The house, at 20 Forthlin Road in Liverpool, has been owned by the National Trust since 1995, and is where the Beatles star lived with his family from 1955 until late 1963 before he rose to fame.
...The house key came into the possession of 13-year-old Beatles fan Kathleen Salt, maiden name Duffy, from New York after she wrote a letter addressed to Occupant, 20 Forthlin Road, Allerton, Liverpool.
Months later, she received a three-page handwritten reply from Ashley Jones.
Mr Jones explained that he had been given two original keys to the property and believed the key he was sending Kathy could have been Sir Paul’s own key.
More than six decades later, she still vividly remembers the excitement of receiving the package, saying: “If hope could be sealed into an envelope, surely, miraculously, I’d managed to do that.”
Ms Salt’s father, Frank Duffy, provided security for the band during their first American tour in 1964 and took the opportunity to ask them for autographs for his daughter, each inscribed to “Kathy”.
