Menlove Avenue L25 street sign. This is the street sign sign 200 yards away from one of Liverpool's most famous addresses: 'Mendips' number 251 Menlove Avenue, home of John Lennon from 1945 until 1963.

The name 'Menlove' has a curious ring to it, rather like 'Strangelove' in the film by Stanley Kubrick. Menlove Avenue is a long, very attractive avenue in suburban south Liverpool. I'm always curious what effect on famous artists of the locality where they grew up.
