Cool! Search Mendips and there's a lot of good pictures I haven't seen. Including this one.

Very cool vectis! I wonder if they let the public use the very bathroom at Mendips John once used?
What?! Don't look at me! A tour guide told me years ago that the outhouse at Abraham Lincoln's Springfield, Illinois home is the most viewed place there; everyone wants to peek in and check it out!

Debjorgo, that pic was taken in the living room in Forthlin Road. They used to move Paul's Dad's armchair out of the way and sit in two ordinary chairs.
JSD, no, you can't use the bathroom at Mendips, or Forthlin Road.

I didn't actually memorise the sanitaryware, but it looks more like it would be Forthlin Road. Could be either, though.

Although that was cool too. One of the best toilet photos I can recall.

Interestingly, the tour of the houses is McCartney/Lennon, not Lennon/McCartney. I'm just saying...... (raises eyes innocently)

Now I see how they were so flush with material in those days to write so many good songs. No crap ever came out of that bathroom...... Wasn't long after that they made it all the way to The Hollywood Bowl... Should I keep going? ??

Well done Vectis
I've stood on the footpath outside both Mendips and Forthlin Rd, i never ventured up to the front door like you have, and you've got a momento..
Awesome.
What did surprise me was how wide a road Menlove Avenue is, almost a main thoroughfare rather than a suburban street.

Menlove Ave. was a huge thoroughfare in 1986. Maybe not so much so in the years John lived there?
