The money raised from the sale of these bricks will be used to help fund the Steps To Work Programme at Strawberry Field. Strawberry Field is a beacon of hope for young adults with learning disabilities and other barriers to employment in Liverpool and Merseyside. It is a hub where these young adults through training, coaching and work placements will be better equipped to seek employment and make a specific contribution to the community.
The brick is recovered from the same building John Lennon would have seen as a child playing in its gardens.
Strawberry Field is a victorian-age manor house in Liverpool, England. As the name suggests, it is also the inspiration for the 1967 Beatles single Strawberry Fields Forever. This specimen is a fragment of that original manor house brick. The brick was sold at auction to fund the restoration of the manor house.
Each brick fragment is hand-cut by our technicians and is protected by an acrylic specimen jar. The jar is enclosed inside a classic, glass-topped riker display case that measures 4"x3"x 1". A small information card is enclosed that also serves as the certificate of authenticity.
Please Note: This original material dates from the 1870s as such there will be wide variations in color, shape, and texture. Pictures on this page are representative of the material but every fragment will be absolutely unique. (minimuseum)
