George later wrote of the house: "To look at, it is just like Coronation Street. No garden, door straight on to the street...it was OK that house, very pleasant being little and it was always sunny in summer."
The youngest member of the Beatles, Harrison was just 17 when the band embarked on their now-famed trip to Hamburg in 1960 and just 27 when they broke up in 1970. Known as the ‘quiet Beatle’, he was their lead guitarist and a talented songwriter. After the Beatles split up, Harrison went on to achieve great success as a solo artist. As co-founder of Handmade Films, George was also involved in culture-defining films such as Monty Python’s Life of Brian , Time Bandits and Mona Lisa .
Until 19 July people across the North West are invited to submit their nominations for the person they would most like to see recognised with a prestigious Historic England blue plaque.
