Penny Lane, 1967
What a moment in history! The Beatles’ 1967 release of “Penny Lane” instantly became a global sensation, cementing the band’s status at the height of their fame. The song’s impact is perfectly captured in this iconic photo of two young fans unscrewing a Penny Lane road sign—likely to keep as a treasured souvenir. Over the years, the sign became such a coveted item that it was stolen repeatedly throughout the 1960s and beyond. To combat this, the city began painting the street name directly onto walls, eventually introducing theft-proof signs in 2007. A true testament to the enduring legacy of the Fab Four!
