Überblick
Trace the ancient Iron Age origins of Woolton, fondly considered a picture-perfect English village by locals, and discover the role it played in the birth of the legendary band, The Beatles. On this self-guided audio tour, you’ll find out about the real Eleanor Rigby and whether or not she inspired The Beatles’ hit song of the same name. You’ll also have the opportunity to admire St Peter’s Church, and hear how Marie Curie Hospice is connected to one of Woolton’s two famous elephants!
Along the way, I’ll show you how the Irish potato famine shaped the village. And, with the help of my parents, life-long residents Eileen and Jacky, we’ll reveal the complicated socio-political undercurrents that lie beneath the quiet, picturesque streets. They’ll share their early memories of the village and tell you how Catholics, Anglicans, Methodists and other religions coexist here, despite their differences.
