John Lennon’s school desk goes on display at Beatles Museum in Liverpool

Desk from Quarry Bank high school had been hidden by staff as teachers considered Lennon a ‘nuisance’

A desk used by John Lennon has gone on display after being found in the attic of his former school, where teachers had not wanted to remember the musician because he was a “nuisance”.

Lennon attended Quarry Bank high school in Liverpool between 1952 and 1957, and the name of the Quarrymen, the band that would become the Beatles in their formative years, was inspired by the school’s name.
