251 Menlove Avenue, named Mendips, was the childhood home of John Lennon, singer and songwriter with The Beatles, and is now preserved by the National Trust. Mendips is a 1930s semi-detached property and is in Woolton, south Liverpool, England. The house belonged to Lennon's Aunt Mimi and her husband George. They took him in 1945 when he was five because his mother could not cope after John's father left them. He remained here until 1963 when he was 23 years old.
