Pawnshop in Liverpool
There is a Pawn Shop in Liverpool…
Some say there is a pawn shop in Liverpool like no other pawn shop in the world. This Liverpool pawn shop has many items commonly found in other pawn shops (jewellery, watches and other personal valuables), but this one is also reputed to have an old banjo worth a fortune, as well as a tea chest covered in wallpaper and an old school jotter, covered in schoolboy scribbles, worth equally enormous amounts of money.
So, why is this pawn shop in liverpool so unique? And why are the contents of this pawn shop the reason why it is unique? The answers are as follows. This pawn shop has unparalleled treasures in the form of Beatles memorabilia which have been pawned through the decades since the 60s in exchange for cash.
Why would anyone pawn a battered old banjo? Because it belonged to Julia Lennon, John Lennon’s musically talented mother! And why would a pawn shop advance money against an old tea chest or a school jotter? Because the tea chest is the makeshift bass from John Lennon and Paul McCartney’s first ever skiffle group, and the school jotter in the pawn shop contain the humorous schoolboy fantasies also authored by the precocious John Lennon.
So, is this pawn shop real, or is this pawn shop as fantastic as one of John’s schoolboy stories? I shall leave you to decide if this story is true.
