"the start of ‘Beatlemania’"

Liverpool Life Google Sightseeing casts its giant eye at us and takes the reader on across the various Beatles related landmarks in the city:

"After returning from one particular stint in Germany, a series of shows at Litherland Town Hall (now a health centre) in late 1960 / early 1961 is generally acknowledged to be the start of ‘Beatlemania’, with the now-solid band getting rave reviews and an increasingly hysterical following."

As ever consulting street views' view of around here is akin to time travel. The Jacaranda closed that year and Ringo's house isn't quite that intact.
