The Abbey Road Sign
The street sign from the infamous Abbey Road in London is now put on the eBay Internet auction, said NME. The most important part of this lot is based on The Beatles popularity, which dragged the street name into the same fame; this band’s 1969 album is called “Abbey Road”. Besides that, the band’s recording usually took place at the studio located on Abbey Road, so the street sign is surely worth of something. The one who put that piece of historical metal on eBay will become known on September 29, and before it anyone who wants to participate in the process can offer his own price per this lot. Money that will be taken from this sale will go into London’s transportation system. “This is a rare opportunity for someone to own a precious piece of Beatles memorabilia and Westminster history,” said councillor Danny Chalkley. Also, it’s interesting to note that along with the “Abbey Road”, forty two other street signs will be sold out, and probably used for the same purpose of helping London. The Abbey Road street sign was erected in 2003, but only after four years had to be removed because The Beatles’ fans just kept on writing on it. Currently, the Westminster authorities are thinking about creating the new sign, but this time it should be very strong and protected from any possible signatures.
