A Victorian mansion where the Beatles played during their early days is said to be the "most haunted house" in Liverpool.
Lowlands on Hayman's Green in West Derby Village dates back to 1846 when it was built by the builder and architect Thomas Haigh. In the 1960s, the grade II listed building was home to the basement Pillar Club where a range of 'Mersey Sound' bands played during their early days, from the Quarrymen to Gerry and the Pacemakers and the Hollies.
The manor house is now owned by the West Derby Community Association and plays host to 20 different clubs as well as private functions. Stephen Guy, 74, who is chairman of the association, said Lowlands has become increasingly popular with paranormal investigators over the last year following a number of unexplained occurrences.
