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

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
