When I first heard about this, it was told as a fact that Penny Lane was named after James Penny. Now they are trying to walk that back. Who knows? That was a long time ago.
Liverpool's whole economy was built on shipping and the slave trade. Of course there wasn't much to show from this by the mid twentieth century.
It would be a pity to lose this tourist attraction and piece of Beatle's history. Perhaps some sort of charitable consideration could be established; a penny or two out of the Penny Lane royalty.
I hate to see another Beatle site disappear but time has a way of marching on.

When Apple is required to modify the song and change the "Penny" to whatever the street is renamed to, I hope to God that they don't use Paul's 79 year old singing voice! Let's hope its renamed to a word a younger Paul has sung and can be seamlessly edited in.
Paperback Lane!

Let's hope its renamed to a word a younger Paul has sung and can be seamlessly edited in. Paperback Lane! How about "Denny Lane"? That's works! If only a 2002 or younger Paul had sung the word "Denny" in some song, any song, then it could be seamlessly edited in removing the racist "Penny." I think I read since this Thread started that the Liverpool Slave Museum has now concluded that Penny Lane was not named after the slave trader as it was not called Penny lane until like 50 years after the slave trader Penny died and by then people in the U.K. weren't honoring such loathsome people and Penny probably refers to a toll charged to use that lane. Not that that conclusion, even if true, will stop a momentum to erase all the past, the good, bad and ugly. Penny Lane the song is screwed. It will be banned from radio and never performed again and omitted from future Beatles releases. Paul will probably do a 180 and for the first time ever say John was responsible for a "Paul" Beatles' song!
