A Strawberry Fields sign above your next sentence: This officially licensed Beatles ballpoint pairs a red metal body with a topper inspired by John Lennon's Liverpool. The place behind one of his most distinctive songs can sit by your notebook, ready for the next address, list or idea that needs putting on paper.
The gates of a real Liverpool childhood place: The topper takes its cue from Strawberry Field's gate-and-sign motif, a familiar sight in Woolton near the house where John Lennon grew up. He played in its gardens as a boy. The famous red gates were there before the song, giving this little pen a place on the map as well as a place on the desk.
A metal ballpoint for the notes that matter later: The red barrel belongs to a working pen, ready for an address on an envelope, a message inside a birthday card or an appointment that must go straight into the diary. Stand it in a pen pot between uses and the topper remains on show, ready for the next note.
For the one who knows there's no 's' on the gates: The real Liverpool place is Strawberry Field; The Beatles recorded 'Strawberry Fields Forever'. It's the sort of small difference a devoted listener spots at once. Give them this pen, and they may tell you the story before they put it to paper.

Product Description

At one end, a ballpoint for whatever needs writing today. At the other, a reminder of the gates at Strawberry Field, a real place in the Liverpool John Lennon knew long before The Beatles made records. That is quite a journey for a red metal pen to make, especially if its first assignment is a shopping list.

The place before the record

Before there were Beatles records, there were the trees and gardens of Strawberry Field. John played in the grounds as a boy and attended the summer garden fetes with Aunt Mimi. The Salvation Army children's home stood near his house in Woolton, its red gates marking a place woven into ordinary Liverpool childhood. Years later, the name travelled far beyond those gates on a record.

For the next thing you need to write

The red barrel is easy to pick out among ordinary desk biros. Slip the pen alongside a notebook before you go out, or leave it by the kitchen calendar for the date that has to be written down while you remember it.

The gate-inspired topper is still there to catch your eye when you put the pen back in the pot. It has a perfectly ordinary job to do; the place it recalls is anything but ordinary.

Two Liverpool places on one single

In February 1967, John's 'Strawberry Fields Forever' appeared as a double A-side with Paul's 'Penny Lane'. The songs sounded different, but both reached back to the Liverpool they remembered. If the person you're buying for has walked those streets, or wants to someday, the reference at the top of this pen may mean rather more than a band logo. There will still be a list to write when the record finishes.
