Summary edit

Description
The Beatles Penny Lane Barbers shop
This is the barbers shop that features in the lyrics of the Beatles hit Penny Lane

Tony Slavin's was formally known as Bioletti's Barber shop in the 1960's at the time of the release of "Penny Lane", the famous Beatles hit.

Paul McCartney was sitting at a bus shelter waiting for John Lennon to meet him on Penny Lane, a street near their houses. While sitting there Paul jotted down the things he saw, including a barber's shop with pictures of its clients and a nurse selling poppies for Remembrance Day (November 11th or the day World War 1 officially ended). He later turned these into the song we now know. Penny Lane still contains the bank and barber's shop mentioned in the song, however the shelter in the middle of the roundabout where the nurse sells the poppies has now become a restaurant named Sgt. Pepper's Bistro. Info from here...

This barbers shop is at 11 Smithdown Place which is at the end of Penny Lane near the Roundabout...
