George Harrison's childhood home in Speke sells at auction

George Harrison's former home at 25 Upton Green

The childhood home of former Beatle George Harrison has sold at an auction at the Cavern Club for £156,000.

Harrison was six years old in 1949 when he moved into 25 Upton Green in Speke, Liverpool, with his parents.

The three-bedroom mid-terrace home was where The Quarrymen held some of their first rehearsals before the band evolved into the Beatles in 1960.

The fully-renovated property was sold to a Beatles fan from London for £56,000 more than the guide price.
