A mural of Ringo Starr, commissioned by Liverpool artist John Culshaw,
is unveiled on the gable end of the Empress Pub on Admiral Street
A
huge mural of Ringo Starr has been completed on the site of a former pub
a stone's throw from the former Beatle's childhood home in Liverpool.
He was born just around the corner from the pub, in Madryn Street in the
Dingle area of south Liverpool.
Growing up, he lived close by in
Admiral Grove from the age of six. His mother, Elsie, worked as a
barmaid at the pub in High Park Street, Toxteth, before Ringo, then
known as Richard Starkey, found fame and fortune in the Fab Four.
The
musician later paid tribute to his local, The Empress, on the cover of
his first solo album, Sentimental Journey. Despite closing down a number
of years ago, The Empress is a destination for Beatles fans taking in
the city, with tourists frequently visiting the landmark.
The new
mural has been painted by Liverpool artist John Culshaw. Culshaw has
also painted a number of football-themed murals across the city.
A
Beatles-themed hotel has been rumoured for the building, but, according
to Liverpool City Council planning documents, the former pub is to be
converted into a house of multiple occupancy.
