Дом где родился Ринго будет уничтожен

A renovation project in Liverpool could mean the demolition of Ringo's birthplace, reports IC Liverpool, which says the area is being studied by the Liverpool City Council.

Long-time area resident Joan Howey told the paper, "That house should be saved. You see people taking pictures outside number nine. I think they should do them up a bit instead." A spokesman for the National Trust, which owns the childhood homes of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, says, "In an ideal world it would be great to have the house as a National Trust property, but buying it is not something we would consider."

However, a spokesperson for the Liverpool council's neighbourhood management team says demolition hasn't been decided yet. "There is a neighbourhood renewal assessment going on. We will assess the condition of properties to decide if we do nothing, refurbish, demolish or part demolish."

Ничего не слышно о реакции Ринго?...

Это пострашнее демонтажа стены Виктора Цоя . При моей привязаности ко всему старому, стены которого помнят и знают многое. Эх.... :((

Главное, чтобы сам Ринго был жив и здоров!

Яволь...

Большинство жителей района Дингл все же проголосовали за снос дома, в котором рос Ринго

The doomed house that has seen its value treble May 16 2005

THE need for the demolition of thousands of Victorian homes in Merseyside will again be called into question this week - after one home tripled in value following a renovation.

A TV production company decided to scrutinise the plans to bulldoze 20,000 homes as part of the Newheartlands housing renewal project.

In a bid to prove restoration is better than demolition, the team took one house in Liverpool earmarked for demolition and refurbished it for £18,000.

That is roughly the price of tearing it down and less than a third of the price of constructing a new one.

The house is in the Dingle where 450 houses, including one of Ringo Starr's childhood homes, look set to be wiped off the map.

The Government Pathfinder programme plans to level rows of terraced houses in towns and cities across northern England in a rolling programme reminiscent of the 1960s slum clearances.

Urban renewal is Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott's vision for improving blighted communities but will cost the public purse billions.

Grant Cunningham, a spokesman for the documentary makers from the Tonight with Trevor McDonald show, said the programme investigated whether it would be cheaper and more environmentally friendly to restore them instead.

Crews were filming at the property on Powis Street, which lies off High Park Street in the area known as the Welsh Streets, last weekend.

The house was opened up for viewings by first-time buyers.

There were no signs of the prolific damp problem, crumbling windows and a collapsed wall which dogged the building just a few weeks earlier.

The owner of the property highlighted in the programme, Avelina Radway, 61, from Halewood, said: "There's a lot of memories for me in this house. To see it looking like this feels as though I'm in a dream.

It's like a phoenix rising from the ashes."

Mrs Radway was born in the front room of the house in 1943 but hasn't lived there since she was a young woman.

As part of the show, James Kersh, from Sutton Kersh Estate Agents, valued the property.

He said: "When it was a shell, the house would have been worth only about £15,000-£20,000 but now I think you'll probably get £60,000-£65,000 for it.

"If the rest of the street followed suit, we're talking £80,000-£85,000 upwards."

Plans for the demolitions and the 18,000 new homes which will be built in their place, are still in the consultation stage and a final decision on details is expected in the summer.

Peter Flynn, spokesman for the Newheartlands Project, said: "We cannot comment on the programme itself because we have not seen it.

"But it is not a question of choosing between restoration or demolition. As part of the neighbourhood renewal project we are carrying out a mixture of renovations and demolitions. We are using all the solutions open to us."

Ex-Beatles childhood home reprieved from bulldozer Jun 25 2005

RINGO Starr's childhood home has been given a stay of execution after a decision to demolish hundreds of properties was put on hold in the face of public opposition.

Liverpool councillors were yesterday expected to approve plans to create two new neighbourhood renewal zones in the Princes Park area of Toxteth and Picton area of Wavertree but chose to delay the proposals so more residents' concerns could be considered.

The controversial scheme would see almost 1,000 homes bulldozed over the next 10 years to make way for new housing, while many others would be refurbished as part of the £470m New Heartlands redevelopment project.

Campaigners welcomed the decision.

A spokeswoman for the Welsh Streets Home Group said: "We are delighted to have just a little more time to try and reach a compromise solution which benefits more people, heritage assets and the environment."

The group argues there is a shortage of affordable housing in the area.

Sidney Green, a resident in the Welsh streets area, said: "I am relieved my home might still be safe and I am not faced with a compulsory purchase order for the time being."

The area earmarked for demolition includes former Beatle drummer Ringo Starr's childhood home in Madryn Street, Toxteth - one of 470 homes in Princes Park and 520 off Smithdown Road.

Council leader Mike Storey said: "Much of this is being forced upon us by central government and we do not want to be steam-rollered into a decision before we understand what people want."

A council spokesman said the scheme was put on hold partly because cllr Flo Clucas, executive member for housing for the city council, was at an Objective 1 funding meeting in Brussels.

Надо япошкам идею кинуть, - нехай разберут, вывезут и у себя на новом месте соберут. У них это запросто. А "ваш славянин, англосакс и германец // не создавать - разрушать мастера, // варвары, дикое скопище пьяниц...", по меткому замечанию одного из авторов русского текста к "My Bonnie".

Battle to save Beatle's home still rages Jul 7 2005

A decision on whether to demolish the Welsh Streets will be made tomorrow. Larry Neild reports.

IT WAS the childhood home of Ringo Starr and its imminent demolition has prompted protest from many quarters, including from the former Beatle himself.

The two-up, two-down terrace in the Welsh streets area is one of more than 460 properties due to be bulldozed as part of a widescale regeneration plan for the Princes Park area of the city.

And tomorrow, Liverpool City Council's executive board will be asked to approve the £54m renewal plan for the area, dashing hopes that the Victorian dwelling had won a stay of execution.

Last night, campaigner Nina Edge said that, if Ringo's former home in Madryn Street, along with hundreds of others, is not spared the plan will be legally challenged in the courts.

The renewal plan hit the headlines when Trevor McDonald's Tonight programme renovated one of the doomed houses for just over £20,000. The conclusion was that the homes could be refurbished at a fraction of the cost of demolition and rebuilding.

It is understood that the Tonight home is currently under offer for around £65,000.

The only hope of the area remaining intact is if executive board councillors take the unusual step of not approving the recommendation. One option is that the board could agree to declare Princes Park as a Housing Renewal Area, but put the demolition plans on hold pending a survey of people affected.

A large slice of land bordering Devonshire Road and Princes Road will be earmarked for refurbishment of homes, carrying out facelifts and tackling the problem of vacant properties. Hundreds of other homes between Highpark Street and Upper Warwick Street will be refurbished or improved as part of a housing renewal strategy.

The use of a so-called "Beatle trail" for fighting the plan has angered officials who say the tiny terraced house in Madryn Street was where Ringo's grandmother lived and where Ringo stayed for a matter of weeks.

The area known as the Welsh Streets has become a battleground between conservationists and residents who want to move out.

The so-called housing renewal initiatives are part one of the biggest-ever housing programmes, put forward by Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott. In an area stretching from Liverpool to Hull, thousands of homes - mainly Coronation Street-type terraces - will be cleared, to be replaced by homes with gardens, central heating and double-glazing.

The Tonight programme took one of the doomed homes and set out to refurbish it for £18,000 - the cost of demolishing the building.

The initiative generated national and international interest in the fate of the Welsh streets, fuelled by the threat to Ringo Starr's former home.

Today, council leader Mike Storey will be touring the area to see for himself the extent of the proposals.

It will equip him with a first-hand knowledge for tomorrow's crunch meeting when the Executive Board will decide whether to back the initiative.

"I do not want to see the type of thing that happened in the 1950s and 1960s when whole communities were bulldozed and people shipped out of the city. This is different because it is renewing areas and building new homes or refurbishing existing houses. What is important is listening to the people who live in the area and making sure that what they want is carefully considered," he said

A study carried out in the area reveals that almost a third of the houses fail decency standards and that 60% of residents were dissatisfied with their homes because of disrepair. More crucially, according to the study, almost 80% support selective demolition.

A Neighbourhood Renewal Assessment concludes that there is broad support for clearance proposals.

Although the Welsh Streets will be cleared if the go-ahead is given, there will also be extensive refurbishment of existing properties as well as new build.

The vocal Welsh Street Home Group who want the homes to stay, could mount formal objections if property needs to be compulsory purchased. That would almost certainly lead to a public inquiry.

Miss Edge added: "Our view is that most of the homes could be refurbished to a high standard at a modest cost.

"We can see that a number of around 100 need to go, but not the 400-plus they want to clear."

The group she supports argues there is a shortage of affordable housing in the area.

Recently, the executive board decided that the plan should be put on hold. At that time, one resident, Sidney Green, said: "I am relieved my home might still be safe and I am not faced with a compulsory purchase order for the time being."

* THE Executive Board will also be asked to agree to a second renewal area based on Picton. The plan will affect dozens of terraced streets behind Smithdown Road.

There will be an extensive phased demolition programme, with displaced families moved to new homes in the area. An assessment has identified around 520 homes, 360 of them in private ownership, for demolition over the next 10 years.

The plan will see a first phase demolition plan affecting Scholar Street, Mulliner Street and Underley Street, with Cantsfield Street, Tunstall Street and Garrick Street earmarked for clearance in phase 2. Homes in Cranborne Road will be saved and streets between Webster Road and Cranborne Road will be refurbished.

Ringo Childhood Home Saved

The birthplace of ex-Beatle Ringo Starr was saved from demolition Friday - at least for the time being.

The humble Victorian row house on Madryn Street in the Dingle area of Liverpool in northwest England was one of 460 properties earmarked for
demolition under a government-backed $97 million US urban renewal plan. But faced with criticism that it is breaking up communities and destroying Britain's heritage, the Liverpool city council agreed Friday to consult further with residents before taking the next step.

"This will help us to decide exactly which properties should be demolished to make way for new housing, and which should remain," a council spokesman said.

A previous independent study showed that 70 per cent of area residents favour razing the old houses and building new ones. But some residents fear the plan will destroy the sense of community and suggest refurbishing existing houses instead.

Ringo Starr's birthplace in northern England is safe from bulldozers The Madryn Street house, where Starr lived for three years before his family
moved to nearby Admiral Grove, remains a private home and is not subject to any preservation orders.

The former Beatle recently criticized the plan to demolish homes. "Why are they knocking them down? If it is economically viable, they should
do them up," he said.

We'll rebuild Ringo's house, brick by brick

RINGO STARR DOESN'T WANT HIS CHILDHOOD HOME SAVED

Ringo Starr says that fans should end their recent battles to preserve his birthplace in Liverpool, which is set to be demolished. The house on Madryn Street where Starr lived until he was 4 is part of a multi-million dollar "regeneration plan" in the Dingle section of the city. The Liverpool Echo reported that Starr appeared on British TV and spoke out against future plans to rebuild the structure, using the original bricks, as a monument to the former Beatle.

Starr explained that, "Now they are knocking it down brick-by-brick because they are going to put it somewhere else, and I do not see the sense of putting it anywhere else -- because you are going to have to put a plaque on whatever they build saying 'Ringo Starr was born here'. Well, not really." There's no word on when the building is set to be demolished.

Although both John Lennon and Paul McCartney's childhood homes have become "National Trust" landmarks that are open to the public, none of the four homes that Starr and George Harrison lived in while in Liverpool have been officially honored.

In the early '80s, Liverpool's legendary Cavern Club, where the group performed a record-breaking 292 times, was rebuilt using some of the brick from the original structure that was demolished in 1973.

Ринго раздражен властями горсовета, которые снесли его дом в Ливерпуле, но тем не менее собираются использовать его имя. Ранее они признали, что дом родительский дом Ринго на Мэдрин-стрит "не имеет исторического значения", тогда как дома, в которых провели детство остальные трое Битлов были сохранены.
"Не вижу в этом смысла. "Он там не жил" видите ли. С ума сойти. Но к черту историю, я все равно никогда не любил это место", - сказал Ринго.

Дом Ринго Старра превратится в музей

Ливерпульский дом, где в 1940 году родился барабанщик The Beatles Ринго Старр (Ringo Starr), превратится в музей. Первые посетители смогут осмотреть его не раньше 2008 года, сообщает BBC News, поскольку здание предстоит разобрать, перенести в портовую часть города и собрать заново.

Ринго Старр провел в кирпичном доме на улице Мэдрин-стрит только первые три месяца своей жизни: позже его семья переехала в расположенный неподалеку дом на улице Адмирал-Гроув. План развития Ливерпуля предусматривает снос жилых зданий в районе Мэдрин-стрит, и поклонники группы The Beatles решили защитить историческое место. Их предложение перенести дом в строящийся комплекс Национальных музеев Ливерпуля (National Museums Liverpool) получило одобрение от дирекции музеев.

Сам Ринго Старр уже много лет живет в графстве Саррей вместе со своей женой, актрисой Барбарой Бах (Barbara Bach).

Если пойти налево от этого дома, через перекресток, там будет дом, где Ринго вырос, такой белый там еще старушка живет.

Дом Ринго на Madryn Street все таки снесут:
