Fifth Beatle
The fifth Beatle is an informal title that has been applied to people who were at one point a member of the Beatles or who had a strong association with John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. The "fifth Beatle" claims first appeared in the press immediately upon the band's rise to global fame in 1963–64. The members have offered their own views as to who should be described with the title: *McCartney said on two occasions that "if anyone was the fifth Beatle", it was manager Brian Epstein (in a 1997 BBC interview)brianepstein.com: McCartney's comments about the fifth Beatle Retrieved 12 March 2007 and producer George Martin (in a 2016 memorial post). *Harrison stated at the Beatles' 1988 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame that there were only two "fi ...

Litherland Town Hall
Litherland Town Hall is a former municipal building in Hatton Hill Road, Litherland, Merseyside, England. The structure, which was the headquarters of Litherland Urban District Council, now functions as a health centre. History Following significant population growth, largely associated with its proximity to the Liverpool Docks, the area became an urban district in 1894. The new council initially based itself in offices at Summerhill Cottage before acquiring Litherland House in 1904. In the 1930s, civic leaders decided to commission a purpose-built town hall: the site they selected formed part of the open land alongside Field Lane which later became known as Hatton Hill Park. The foundation stone for the new building was laid by the chairman of the council, Councillor J. W. Anderson, on 25 February 1939. It was designed by Gerald de Courcy Fraser in the Italianate style, built in red brick with stone dressings at a cost of £20,000 and was officially opened by the chairman of th ...
