Whenever George Harrison travelled abroad, he would leave a message from his Liverpool home everywhere he went
If you were to see the name Arnold Grove on a hotel check in sheet during the 1960s, you may not have given it a second thought.
The youngest member of the Beatles, George was just 17 when the band embarked on their trip to Hamburg in 1960, staying with the band for a decade. Music was an early interest, encouraged by his parents, although George did not actively start learning guitar until he was in his teens. He was the first Beatle to score a number one single in the UK music charts after the band split up. His other famous works include ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’ , ‘Here Comes the Sun’ and ‘Something’ .
Born on February 25, 1943, George was the youngest of four children whom he shared the home with and maintained strong connections to Wavertree. His parents were born and grew up in the area while his maternal grandparents lived in the adjacent road, Albert Grove.
