The 60,000 Beatles fans who come every year to take a peek at Strawberry Field through the locked gates will now be able to walk the Salvation Army garden made famous by the 1967 song “Strawberry Fields Forever.”
The garden, located in Liverpool, England, was just around the corner from where John Lennon used to live and was such a special place for him as a child that it inspired one of the most popular Beatles songs. After being closed for nearly 14 years, Strawberry Field opened to the public on September 14.
