Bungalow where 'one of the greatest songs of all time' was written

The ECHO has taken a look back at the bungalow bought by George Harrison for his mum and dad to escape 'Beatlemania', which became the setting for him writing one of his greatest songs.

The house, known as Sevenoaks, is located on a leafy back street in the village of Appleton Thorn about a mile south of Stockton Heath, Warrington. It was home to Harry and Louise Harrison, who relocated from Speke. Their youngest son George had bought them the house in the mid-sixties.

It was during a visit to the home in 1968 that George penned 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps', a high point of The Beatles' self-titled album of the same year, commonly known as the 'White Album'.
