- A school desk once used by John Lennon, reportedly hidden due to teachers considering him a "nuisance", has been discovered in an attic at Quarry Bank School in Liverpool.
- The desk, along with Lennon's enrolment ledger and other school artefacts, will now be a centrepiece at the Liverpool Beatles Museum.
- The desk was put into storage around 1963 or 1964 by the headmaster, Bill Pobjoy, who asked the caretaker to remove it after Lennon gained fame with The Beatles.
- For many years, school staff actively avoided acknowledging Lennon's connection to the school, even sending away fans, to prevent students from idolising his disruptive behaviour.
- The school now embraces its history, offering tours of sites where Lennon performed with The Quarrymen and scaled the wall separating his school from the girls' school.
