Subject: Ringo birthplace to be bulldozed
Written By: Philip Eno on 09/11/05 at 2:11 am
Former Beatle Ringo Starr's birthplace is to be demolished because it has "no historical significance", Liverpool City Council has said.
The humble terrace in Madryn Street, Dingle, is one of 460 properties to be demolished for a regeneration project.

no historical significance? Why can't they just build around it?

As the article says - he spent three months of his life there - that doesnt really make it "that" historically significant.

Not to worry - according to last night's Liverpool Echo (I'll look for a link and post it) the house is going to be taken apart brick by brick and rebuilt.
It doesn't actually say where it's going to be rebuilt though.

"regeneration project" ?
Careful with that Urban Renewal stuff over there. They use to tear down old buildings over here all the time and put up crappy modern garbage in its place (and a big ol' ugly parking lot/garage to go with it).
World War II destroyed many fine old buildings in Europe; here in the U.S. it was called Urban Renewal.
