Lennon and McCartney homes given Grade II listed status

The childhood homes of John Lennon and Sir Paul McCartney have been listed as Grade II buildings by English Heritage.Lennon's house - Mendips, on Menlove Avenue in Woolton, and McCartney's home on Forthlin Road in Allerton, are both in Liverpool.English Heritage said the two houses were where The Beatles composed and rehearsed many of their early hits.Tourism and Heritage Minister John Penrose said The Beatles were "tremendously important".He said that the listing meant the houses were "legally protected from being bashed around or altered in future".

And yet Ringo's house seems to be insignificant.
