Needs of article expansion[edit]

Cavern Club replica in Beatles Story
(cf. Cavern Mecca)

Beatles relief
in Cavern Club
(cf. Cavern Mecca)

The Cavern Mecca was not only the earliest Beatles Museum, but also the touring information center, and the base of Beatles fan club who organized early Beatles festival called "Mersey Beatles Extravaganza", in Liverpool. And today, the successors of their early attempts can be seen on the various facilities around the Liverpool, for example:

a replica of Cavern Club stage in the Beatles Story museum (cf. Cavern Mecca in 1981),
a huge Beatles relief now seen on the new Cavern Club (cf. Cavern Mecca in 1981), and
the John Lennon statue seen on the Mathew Street side exterior of the Hard Days Night Hotel (cf. statue by Allan Curran in 1981),
a music festival in Liverpool, called Liverpool International Music Festival (cf. early Beatles festival "Mersey Beatles Extravaganza") [added by Clusternote (talk) 14:17, 10 May 2018 (UTC)][reply]

etc; all these in prototype or original forms were already seen on photographs of Cavern Mecca circa 1981. In my eyes, these early efforts by Liz and Jim Hughes, for establishing the Cavern Mecca as a replacement of virtually closed Cavern Club during 1973 to 1984 (and also 1989 to 1999), seems a prototype of later re-development of the tourism resource in the Liverpool. Although it seems slightly hard to find the reliable sources, the verification of reverted contributions by User:CavernMecca might be worth of efforts.
