    "​A hidden jewel in the city’s Beatles empire celebrated its sixth birthday by hosting a visit by members of the original “Quarrymen” group. / The community hub run by Penny Lane Development Trust was set up in 2010 on formerly derelict land next to Dovedale Towers, after a fight to save it from developers. / Because of its location on the road immortalised by the Beatles song, the centre is now home to a wide range of Fab Four memorabilia, including a specially decorated wall, and a number of rare Beatles pictures taken by former official fan club secretary Freda Kelly.. / But pride of place belongs to a Yellow Submarine model in the grounds of the registered charity. / The story goes back to 2012, when the Trust was offered a “yellow submarine” which had been donated to the Cavern Club. ",
    "​To begin with, nothing was known about where the one man sub had originally come from. It later turned out it was created in 1966 by a man named Arthur Johnson from Grimsby. He built the artefact - which he christened Resurgam - in his back garden for his daughter, coincidentally at around the same time as Paul McCartney was writing his famous hit tune. / It was eventually used at the premiere of the animated Yellow Submarine film in July 1968. / Colin Hanton and Len Garry - original members of John Lennon’s pre-Beatles band, The Quarrymen - were present to help the Trust mark its sixth anniversary, along with Paul McCartney lookalike Neil Tudor. "
