A real street in the suburb of Mossley Hill, immortalised in the 1967 Beatles single. The lane itself is unremarkable — a short residential road — but the surrounding roundabout area (the "shelter in the middle of the roundabout") is the spot most people come to see. The barber shop, the bank and the fire station referenced in the lyrics are all genuine local landmarks.
Coach tours stop here for photographs of the Penny Lane street sign, which has been stolen so often that the city now paints the name on walls in indelible paint. The road got its name, controversially, from James Penny — an 18th-century Liverpool slave trader; the connection has been formally acknowledged by the council.
