Ringo's Childhood Home Was Set For Demolition

Ringo Star, who is known and loved by millions of fans around the world as the former drummer of arguably the most successful and creative rock band of the 1960's, The Beatles, grew up in a little cottage house in a section of Liverpool, England known as the Dingle. This house has now been condemned and is set to be torn down.
Along with his bandmates, John Lennon, Paul MaCartney, and George Harrison, they debuted in the U.S. on "The Ed Sullivan Show" less than 3 months after the assassination of President Kennedy in February of 1964 and launched a music phenomenon that has lasted ever since.
Ringo now has put out a new album and song called "Liverpool 8" in which he reminises about his life and his hometown. In the song, one of the lyrics goes: "...Liverpool i left you, said goodbye to Madrine Street..." Madrine Street is the location of his childhood home and that house, along with the other row of tiny connected cottages on the block are all boarded up and are set to be torn down. Before doing this however, there are plans to carefully take apart, brick by brick, the house where Ringo lived and relocate it to a national Beatles museum. There is a desire both on the part of fans and the British Government to preserve the building for posterity. Ringo Star is now a little more than 2 years away from turning 70.
