Strawberry Fields is a former Salvation Army children’s home in Liverpool. The home was created in the late 1800's. The Victorian house in the land was torn down in 1973 and replaced with a modernized building. It inspired the song, “Strawberry Fields Forever” by The Beatles. The song was written by John Lennon, who would play in the Strawberry Field gardens when he was young. The Strawberry Fields is known for its bright red gate in Liverpool and has become a tourist attraction since the song’s release. John Lennon considered “Strawberry Fields Forever” one of his greatest accomplishments while with the band. As of recently, the building has been turned into a visitor’s center which provides an exhibition of John Lennon’s early life.
