The birthplace of Ringo Starr, a Victorian terrace in Madryn Street in the Toxteth area of Liverpool, may be knocked down and rebuilt at the new (currently under construction) Museum Of Liverpool. The house is one of hundreds in the area set to be demolished and replaced with brand new homes. As previously reported, a campaign to save the house failed, the city council judging the building to have "no historical significance".
National Museums Liverpool, however, think it would be a "hugely popular" attraction. A spokesman said: "We are hopeful that we will be able to give a home to the childhood house of Ringo Starr. Negotiations are underway with all parties involved, but there are still many details to be worked out."
The historical significance of the house has been questioned because Starr only lived there for around three months before moving to a new home in Admiral Grove, where he lived for the next twenty years.
