    Love the white room, photos of John and Yoko. The Hotel by the sea, it’s a shame it wasn’t restored. Seems like a very nice location. I enjoyed the history about the children and the accident. Very interesting! I
    enjoyed it. Thank you LT for all your detail.

    I knew about the car crash in Scotland and that Lennon had called in to see one of his aunties in Liverpool on the way there (which was the last time he was ever in Liverpool) but I didn't know that they had been in Wales beforehand. Shame about that hotel. Such a handsome building being left to deteriorate.

    The military buildings or what is left of them are part of Tonfanau. My father did part of his national service there in the early 1950’s.
    There was also a honey Ice Cream factory just outside Towyn can remember the actress Pat Phoenix opening the venue very early 1980’s. (Elsie Tanner in Coronation Street )

    There's a video of Julian & Cynthia Lennon here on YT talking about that wreck, and how little Julian had said his grandfather (who was dead) protected him in the wreck. Julian had never met him, but said the man spoke to him during that accident. It's a sweet moment and you can see how close he was to his mother.

    John & yoko must have been the worst parents at that time, both not long off Heroin, both drug takers, both selfish attitudes towards children. As much as I love Lennon, I wouldn't let him babysit my kids. Cynthia did a good job bringing up Julian on her own.

      Hi Roy, thanks for watching. Lennon seems to have panicked when he came face to face with another car on a narrow lane and drove into a ditch. That's what i've read but who knows

      @strathman7501 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      They were on the scenic road around the Kyle of Tongue, a 10-mile sea inlet today crossed by a causeway and bridge. The road is still the same narrow, twisting single-track with occasional passing places, between which one's only escape from the road is onto rough and rocky moorland or into a ditch. The story is that they met another tourist car head-on between passing places and John swerved into the ditch.

      John Lennon couldn’t even consider leaving the USA until 7 October 1975 when he won his battle against deportation. He didn’t in fact travel overseas until 1976 when he received his Green Card guaranteeing permanent US residency and the freedom to travel. After that he travelled to Japan and South Africa but he never returned to England.
