Lennon's childhood home sold

 

 

The Liverpool home John Lennon spent the first five years of his life in was auctioned at the Cavern Club Tuesday (10/29) and brought a high bid nearly twice the price expected.  The two story red brick row house just a few paces from Penny Lane at 9 Newcastle Rd was valued between $240,000 and $400,000.  An anonymous telephone bidder paid just over $772,000 for the modest, brick home.  Owners of the residence say little has been changed or updated over the years out of consideration for the home's historic importance.  The future Beatle lived in the house prior to moving in with an aunt and uncle close to the end of WW II.
