Former Liverpool Beatles tourist attraction put up for sale

Overview

The Penny Lane Community Trust in Liverpool, a popular Beatles-themed tourist attraction and community centre, has been put up for sale following its closure on New Year's Eve. The trust went into liquidation after struggling with rising utility costs and declining visitor numbers. The building, which features a mural of Paul McCartney and John Lennon and a Beatles-themed garden, is being marketed exclusively to charities and community organisations.
