Originally from Wavertree, George and the Harrison family lived on Mackets Lane between 1962 and 1965, where many Beatles fans still visit today in his memory.

As a youngster, George passed the 11-plus and attended the same school as bandmate Paul - the Liverpool Institute - a grammar school which closed in 1985.
