The threat of demolition of the terraced home which was the Liverpool birthplace of Beatles drummer Ringo Starr has returned.
The Victorian property at Madryn Street, Toxteth, is one of hundreds in the “Welsh Streets” area which is due to be bulldozed to make way for modern family homes as part of a Pathfinder regeneration scheme.
“The properties in the Welsh Streets are in such a poor condition that demolition is the only option,” said a council spokesman.
Ringo Starr, now 70, lived at the house for about three months before he moved to Admiral Grove, where he lived for about 20 years.
Liverpool City Council previously said the house had “no historical significance” because of the short time Starr spent there.
However, Beatles tourists can still visit the houses where John Lennon and Paul McCartney grew up in the city.
