Beatles fans now have the opportunity to own a unique piece of the band’s history as bricks from the original Strawberry Field building are being sold for approximately $100 each, complete with a presentation box, limited-edition numbered to 2,500, and an embossed hologram. The campaign aims to raise funds for a new support hub and visitor experience to be built on the site of the original building. Julia Baird, John Lennon’s half-sister, is spearheading the campaign. “I am sure that all Beatles fans will find a way to support this significant project that will bring hope to so many young adults with learning disabilities,” she said. “With Fathers’ Day coming soon, what better present could there be for lovers of ‘Strawberry Fields Forever.'” “We want to open it to the public for the very first time, so that visitors can celebrate and enjoy it now and forever,” the Salvation Army said on the Strawberry Field website. “The visitor experience will tell the story of the Salvation Army, the children’s home that once stood here and the part that Strawberry Field played in the life of John Lennon and the Beatles. We will create a new training and work placement hub for young people with learning disabilities, where they can learn skills, gain work experience, grow in confidence and achieve. You can help us bring Strawberry Field back to life.” Copyright(c) 2018 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
