Former Beatle George Harrison's childhood home in Speke, Liverpool has sold for £156,000 ($252,213) in an auction at the city's famous Cavern Club.
It exceeded its guide price of £100,000 ($161,675) by 56% - evidence of the value of the Beatles connection.
 George Harrison lived at the house in Speke between 1950 and 1962 |
Countrywide Property Agents, the firm handling the sale, commented: "The Harrison family moved into the then council house in 1950, when George was just six years old; he spent 12 happy years living there before fame and stardom whisked him away in 1962.
"Despite his young age, 25 Upton Green became a regular rehearsal venue for The Quarrymen, due in large part to the tolerance of George's parents."
John Lennon's former home in the city made £480,000 ($772,000) last year, an increase of 220% on an initial estimate of £150,000 ($405,398).
