This is a file photo of a corner restaurant on Penny Lane in Liverpool, England. In 2006, Liverpool council member Barbara Mace proposed renaming streets associated with slavery, and was surprised to learn that Penny Lane was among them. After a lively controversy the proposal was withdrawn. The street was named in honor of 18th Century slave ship owner James Penny, and in the 1960's became famous following The Beatles song describing life along the street.

圖為英國利物浦潘尼巷巷口一家餐館的檔案照。2006年,利物浦市議員芭芭拉.梅斯提議,把市內和奴隸交易有關的街道重新命名,結果意外發現潘尼巷竟榜上有名。經過一番激辯後,這項提議已經撤消。這條巷弄是為紀念十八世紀奴隸船主詹姆斯.潘尼命名,1960年代因披頭四寫了一首歌描述這條街的生活而聲名大噪。

Penny Lane is a song written by Paul McCartney. McCartney and John Lennon grew up in the area and they would meet at Penny Lane junction to catch a bus into the centre of the city. The street is an important landmark, sought out by most Beatles fans touring Liverpool.

潘尼巷這首歌是保羅麥卡尼寫的,麥卡尼和約翰藍儂在附近地區長大,他們常在潘尼巷口碰頭,再一起搭巴士到市中心去。這條巷子是重要的地標,也是披頭四粉絲到利物浦必遊景點。
