The house Beatle's drummer Ringo Starr was born in will not be granted listed status by English Heritage. The Victorian terraced house is in Madryn Street in Liverpool, one of hundreds of houses that will be demolished this year.
 
Campaigner, Phil Coppell, said the house is of huge cultural significance and that English Heritage 'do not understand the reality of what is important to the ordinary people of Liverpool and to Beatles fans all over the world.'
 
English Heritage have dismissed the application on the basis that the 'house has no associations with the success of The Beatles as a group, was only lived in by Ringo Starr for four years after his birth and is not architecturally or historically significant enough to match listing criteria.'
