The Summer of 1980

Hard Day's Night Bed and Breakfast

One of my favorites!


This is just a shot of "mail room" in the house. It is where George's sister used to sit and answer fan letters. It just basically shows that there is a lot of interesting things hanging on the walls.


Me outside of the house. Notice that the sign is quick to point out "Where George Harrison Stayed."




In Southern Illinois there is a little yellow house known as the "Hard Day's Night Bed and Breakfast." It is the former home of Lousie Cardwell, who is George Harrison's sister. George came and stayed with her for 3 weeks during the late summer of 1963. Since then fans have saved the home from being torn down and have turned it into a mini Beatles museum as well as a Bed and Breakfast (obviously). It is a cute little place, but I wouldn't go rushing down there to see it as a main trip or anything. However, if you happen to be in Southern Illinois anyhow, it is worth checking out. I live in 2 hours North of the town of Benton, Illinois and the home. In 2007 and 2008 they had a Beatles Day at the house, and I attended. (That is when I met Pete Best). I took some photos of some photos on the wall of Beatles with fans. So here are some photos of photos that I took inside of the Hard Day's Night Bed and Breakfast in Benton, Illinois.
