Campaigners have attempted to give the Beatles' birthplaces registration status and gain official recognition for " where it all began."

SAVE Britain's Heritage has applied to list two houses and a maternity hospital in Liverpool where George Harrison, Ringo Starr and John Lennon were born.

Charity director Henrietta Billings said they were "key" to the Fab Four's "individual and collective story" .

Sir Paul McCartney's birthplace at Walton Hospital is already protected.

Ms Billings said the sites attracted fans of "the most influential group in the history of global popular music" from around the world, and deserved protection.
