That reminds me of a very embarrasing moment - we used to live near Smithdown Rd in Liverpool and I used to take dog and baby for a walk and then sit in a tatty concrete bus shelter of the 6xslabs of concrete style and have a bottle of pop and choccy biccy or something.

One day a coach arrived and disgorged it's 40+ pasengers, mostly from the far east, who all started taking pics of me, dog and baby in the bus shelter.
I KNEW the road across the roundabout in front of me was Penny Lane but the penny didn't drop for ages until one day I heard the opening lines of the Penny lane track and realised it had been a Beatles Sites tour bus ....

They are trying to change the name of Penny Lane for some PC reason.

Any chance of them listing a 6x concrete panel bus shelter?

I still have my copy of Love Me Do, my Beatles Fan Club card (no five hundred and something ...) Paul McCartney said hello and winked at me and John Lennon stood on my hand... Monday night at the Maj in Newcastle, early days, they played on the tiny dias of a stage and I sat right in front on the edge of the stage.

Swoon.

Other appearances at the City Hall were drowned out by screaming.

Ah the Maj, the City Hall (Everly Bros, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, the American Blue Tours...)

Then there was the Gogo... the Who.. etc etc...

You could apply to have the shelter listed - if it is still extant!
