Meet The Beatles

Sinister, grotesque, yet somehow strangely compelling. 
The prepubescent McCartney with his gigantic eyebrows, the disturbingly feminine Ringo, the disconcertingly misdirected gaze of this parallel universe George, and finally, the dead-eyed 1000 yard stare of the evil Genghis Khan-alike John. 

The Beatles that you could surely only Meet in a nightmare that would haunt your waking hours.

No.1 Anglezark Street, Kensington, Liverpool 7, 1957. Early Victorian terrace end corner shop (Planning application for Anglezark Street Project redevelopment approved 2.8.1961).

The manor of Anglezarke near Bolton was the property of the Earls of Derby in the 16th century (The title refers to West Derby, not the county town. The West Derby Hundred was the southwest division of the county of Lancashire, which included Liverpool). Local soap magnate Lord Leverhulme built a reduced scale replica of Liverpool Castle on his estate at Anglezarke in 1900.
