Strawberry Fields Forever (Beatles) in Latin - 1967

The Beatles’ 1967 hit “Strawberry Fields Forever,” long been considered one of the greatest pop songs ever recorded, alluded to a real place just outside the home of a young John Lennon. Behind the ornate gates was a gothic mansion built by a ship owner in 1870. After a subsequent owner died, the home was sold to the Salvation Army in 1934 and opened shortly after as an orphanage.

For John Lennon, Strawberry Field represented a special place in his mind, full of wildflowers and secretive gardens. When he reflected on his Liverpool upbringing for a song, he had visions of Strawberry Fields, and chose it as the focus of his song because "Strawberry Fields is just anywhere you want to go,” he said. 

Strawberry Field became largely abandoned and in a state of disrepair. The orphanage was closed and most of the original buildings torn down. The original gates were replaced with replicas. But today, the original gates are back and the site is home to an interactive visitor exhibition, café, shop, calm garden spaces for spiritual reflection and hosts a program for young adults with learning difficulties and other barriers to employment.
