Liverpool Institute High School for Boys, Lower School 1956

Here I've highlighted Paul and the two teachers who have birds on them. (Only the teacher on the left has a bird, the one on the right was a false positive). Note that the section the teachers are in has been moved to the left in the collage. Sadly Ian James and George Harrison (who are in the full photo, but not in this section), and Mike McCartney (who is in this section) do not appear.

The Silver Beatles auditioning for Larry Parnes. Johnny Hutchinson on drums. 10th May 1960.

interesting things to note:

• John and Paul are separated from George in the collage
• George is pasted standing on the Queen Victoria monument
• Johnny Hutchinson is included in the collage, but Stu (from this photo) is not

I wonder if Johnny was included as a representation of their drummer-troubles in that period?

This seems to be from the Tower Ballroom (1962), based on the decor. According to this reddit post it appears in Anthology on Disney, but I haven't found it yet.

Unknown group of children on street. Possibly family photo? (The fact that it's appeared in videos twice now supports this idea, I think.)

Liverpool Institute High School for Boys, Upper School 1960

I've highlighted Paul. Note the women in the bottom left who are included in the collage. The far right of this image seems to have been "repaired" by AI. I do not recommend zooming in on it.

George does not feature in this photograph, as he'd already started his apprenticeship. Mike is farther right in the photo than the section included in the collage. Ian James is not listed (possibly he had also left for a job?).

George with friends on Harlech hitchhiking trip. Harlech 1959. (Probably). These two also feature with Paul in image 071.

Zane Lowe interview

We still don't know who this girl is but the photo appears in Paul's interview with Zane Lowe (at 20s in).

The famous "John Sleeping" picture. The origin of this picture is disputed. Some people think it was taken in Paris, others that it's from George's house. I haven't seen any proof either way.

We think the collage photo is a new one, from the same sequence as this one.

The pedestal George is standing on is take from this photo.

Paul at the Victoria monument Liverpool. This is almost certainly from the beginning of the Paris 1961 trip (Paul has confirmed that 048 is).
