The first five years of Lennon's life were tumultuous; with absent parents, custody battles, infidelity and an attempted emigration to New Zealand. He moved in to 251 Menlove Avenue in Woolton – a well-to-do Liverpudlian suburb – to live with his uncle and aunt, George and Mimi Smith. It was here he spent the remainder of his childhood and adolescence, living in the property until mid-1963 when he was 22-years-old. This was after The Beatles’ debut album had been released, featuring hits such as Love Me Do and Twist and Shout.
