History Thru The Lens

Welcome to my blog site!

My interests in history and photography come together in this photoblog. Featured in this blog are historical pictures such as the above photo of the RMS Olympic and her sister ship the RMS Titanic, which would prove to be the last one of them together side by side. Hopefully all who visit will enjoy it and recommend the site to their friends.

Eleanor Rigby

In the 1980's, Eleanor Rigby's headstone (pictured above in 2008),  was discovered in a graveyard near St. Peter's Parish Church in the Woolton suburb of Liverpool, England.  A few hundred yards nearby, another marker with the name McKenzie scrawled on it was discovered. The Beatles' Paul McCartney denies that the grave marker was ever an influence in the Beatles song 'Eleanor Rigby'. McCartney and John Lennon were known to sunbathe in the graveyard as teenagers.
