Strawberry Fields was inaugurated on 9 October 1985, on what would have been Lennon's 45th birthday. Its entrance is at Central Park West, at West 72nd Street, facing the Dakota Apartment where Lennon was living, and near where he was murdered.

The memorial at Strawberry Fields is on a tringular piece of land, with a circular tiled area of mosaic. The design on the mosaic is a reproduction of the design from ancient Pompeii. At the center is the word "Imagine", the title of Lennon's famous song. It was laid by Portuguese craftsmen as a gift from the city of Lisbon.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
