John Lennon photo found after 50 years

A photograph of a teenage John Lennon has been unearthed after being locked in a cupboard for 50 years.

The 1958 picture of the 17-year-old Beatles legend wearing a camel hair coat and with a quiff was uncovered by the BBC's Inside Out North West.



Lennon was pictured on Liverpool's Lime Street with friend Nigel Walley, who has not seen it for almost 50 years.

Mr Walley was the manager of The Quarrymen, the band which was the forerunner of The Beatles.
