John Lennon as a Child

[geoff]

Was reading on another Website that John Lennon as a child lived with his mother in rooms or a Flat in Gateacre Village . But no one has been able to located exactly were they lived. But what I did find was a family possibly related to John Lennon did live in the village area. So there may be a link there . Wonder if anyone knows ?

John Lennon went to dovedale Junior school and then he went to quarry bank which is now known as calderstones high school.

Hi Mike , thanks for the information. If you do a search on Julia Lennon its gives even more detailed information on John and his Mother and how they came to live in Gateacre. His first school by the way before going to Dovedale CP was Mosspitts Lane School Wavertree/ Childwall.
