LONDON — The childhood home of Ringo Starr may be saved from the wrecking ball. Negotiations are under way to dismantle the condemned Liverpool row house and rebuild it as part of a new museum in the city, officials said yesterday.
The Liverpool City Council approved the demolition of the tiny Victorian house on Madryn Street, one of more than 400 properties to be razed for a redevelopment project, in 2005, despite protests from Beatles fans. The council ruled that the house, where Mr. Starr lived for about three months, had no historic significance.
