Brisk bidding likely in Louth when letter penned by Beatle George Harrison goes under hammer


From Me To You - George Harrison, who died in 2001, will be remembered next week at Louth saleroom

A HANDWRITTEN letter by Beatle George Harrison is due to go under the hammer in Louth next week.

The letter is dated November 25, 1964, when  Harrison, lead guitarist with the Fab Four, lived with girlfriend Patti Boyd in a luxury bungalow, Kinfauns, in Esher, Surrey.

Subsequently demolished to make way for a larger property, the house is said to  have been where the group put together the demo recordings for their White Album.

The letter is included in Lot 356, along with the stamped envelope in which it is thought to have been sent, and a photograph of him with a young fan.

Online bidding has already reached four figures, but the pre-sale estimate is that, such is the demand for Beatles memorabilia, it could fetch as much as £3,500.

The sale is being conducted by John Taylors from 10am next Tuesday March 14.
