20 Forthlin Road is a National Trust property in Allerton in Liverpool, Merseyside, England. It is the house in which Paul McCartney lived for several years before he rose to fame with the Beatles, and it is labelled by the National Trust as "the birthplace of the Beatles". It was also the home of his brother Mike and the birthplace of the comedy, poetry and music trio the Scaffold, of which Mike was a member.
