Richard Starkey (a.k.a. Ringo Starr) was born at this address on July 7, 1940.

His neighborhood was strafed with bombs during World War II. Richard and Elsie Starkey rented a house at 9 Madryn Street for 10 shillings (£0.50) a week, but separated three years later and mother and son moved to a smaller, less expensive house in nearby Admiral Grove.
