In a discovery that feels like a relic from music’s holy ground, a guitar pick once belonging to John Lennon has been found inside his childhood home at 251 Menlove Avenue, Liverpool.
The find was made during routine preservation work at the National Trust property, where Lennon lived with his Aunt Mimi. Tucked behind an old floorboard near John’s childhood bedroom, the pick was engraved with Lennon’s initials—“J.L.”—faded but still legible.
Experts believe it dates back to the late 1950s, when John was performing with The Quarrymen and just beginning to shape the sound that would change the world.
One worker who discovered it said:
“It was like holding a tiny piece of history in my hand. Simple, worn, but powerful.”
Fans are already calling it a priceless artifact, proof that even Lennon’s smallest possessions carry the weight of legend. The guitar pick will soon be displayed in Liverpool, giving Beatles fans the chance to connect with the earliest echoes of John’s music.
