About this audio guide
This guide to the Beatles Statues at Liverpool's Pier Head begins with two dates fifty years apart: the band's last concert in their home city at the Empire Theatre, and the December morning John Lennon's sister came to the waterfront to unveil four bronze figures. It follows the foundry boss who found the pose in a set of nineteen sixty-three photographs, and the Cavern Club that paid for the gift. Stand close to the figures, near enough to study their hands and shoes.
