A bronze sculpture of John Lennon in front of the Cavern pub and Cavern Club Wall of Fame on Matthew Street. Sculpted by local artist Arthur Dooley, it depicts the Beatles front man leaning nonchantily against a wall with his hands thrust deep in his pockets. Dressed in tight jeans, a leather jacket and plain tee-shirt, the sculpture reminds of icons like James Dean and Marlon Brando but is actually based on the sleeve of Lennon's mid seventies, solo album Rock 'N' Roll. Mathew Street is a street in Liverpool, England, best-known worldwide as the location of the Cavern Club, where The Beatles played on numerous occasions in their early career. It is the centre of the Mathew Street Festival, which fills the streets of Liverpool every Summer. The street connects Rainford Gardens (off Whitechapel) to North John Street, and is located in an area of the city centre known today as "The Cavern Quarter". Historically it was the centre of Liverpool's wholesale fruit and vegetable market. Mathew Street is visited by thousands of tourists a year, who visit the Cavern Club and many surrounding attractions including a statue of John Lennon, a Beatles store and several pubs formerly frequented by The Beatles. A wall in Mathew Street is adorned by a sculpture by Arthur Dooley entitled "Four Lads Who Shook the World".
