“The Beatles Story in Britain.” Local author and historian Bret McKeand takes you to well-known – and some lesser-known spots – pertaining to the history of the Fab Four. In their hometown of Liverpool, we visit the childhood homes of John and Paul, as well as the Cavern Club, Strawberry Field, Penny Lane and more. In London, we’ll cross Abbey Road and stop at Apple Records.
