In 1931, after their marriage, the parents of Harrison, Harold and Louise, moved to the house and lived there for almost 20 years. It wasn't a fancy life though as George Harrison says the main heating was a coal fire and the house was so cold in the winter that he needed to use the outside bathroom because his brothers did not want to get up in the morning as it was freezing. The house had tiny rooms and an iron kitchenette in the back room that used to be a kitchen. When Harrison was six years old, they moved to Speke on 2 January 1950 to a new council estate.
