“The only true songs I ever wrote were ‘Help!’ and ‘Strawberry Fields Forever.’ They were the ones I wrote from experience.” ~John Lennon, Rolling Stone Magazine Interview (1970)
Strawberry Field is a victorian-age manor house in Liverpool, England. As the name suggests, it is also the inspiration for the 1967 Beatles single Strawberry Fields Forever. This specimen is a fragment of that original manor house brick. The brick was sold at auction to fund the restoration of the manor house.
Each brick fragment is hand-cut by our technicians and is protected by an acrylic specimen jar. The jar is enclosed inside a classic, glass-topped riker display case that measures 4″x3″x 1″. A small information card is enclosed that also serves as the certificate of authenticity.
Please Note: This original material dates from the 1870s as such there will be wide variations in color, shape, and texture. Pictures on this page are representative of the material but every fragment will be absolutely unique.
