BABY RINGO (Room 102)
BABY RINGO (Room 102)
Richard Starkey, an only child ,was born in a tiny two bed-roomed house at 9 Madryn Street on the 7th July 1940. The last to join The Beatles, Ringo was the first-born. His parents, Elsie and Richard soon split up and Ringo was raised by his Mother and Step Father Harry. Ringo (a nickname given much later as he wore so many rings on his fingers) was a sickly child and spent much of his early childhood in hospital or in recuperation. He missed a lot of his education but he did learn to play drums whilst in hospital. From very humble working class roots, Ringo would later become an integral member of the biggest band in the world. A “Starr” is born indeed...
