Art teacher Geraldine Brock didn’t get much work out of a tall teenager with glasses. He was polite but not interested. His studies of flowers and foliage usually incomplete because he left the class early. She said: “They were OK, but unfinished and he left them and I used to bin them. I wish now I had kept them because they would have made me a lot of money.”
For that 17-year-old was John Lennon.
