enjoying the sixties

Liverpool Life Five things I've noticed whilst watching this literal version of Penny Lane:



(1) It's hilarious.

(2) It actually sounds like The Beatles

(3) The director runs out of ideas about a minute in

(4) Random cop!

(5) Between the horse montages, the video features shots of the real Penny Lane, or at least the area. Here's the street sign mid way down the street opposite Dovedale Towers:



The tram stop and bus station at the junction of Penny Lane, Smithdown Road, Church Road and Allerton Road:



Here's a close-up. The rebellious woman in red is clearly enjoying the sixties.



That building is still standing but derelict. The section where they're waiting was for a few years the Sergeant Peppers Bistro Bar though that's long since closed as has the public loo at the back. The Liverpool Echo once published a story about the roof [via]
