The name of the home became famous in 1967 with the release of [[the Beatles]]' single "[[Strawberry Fields Forever]]", written by [[John Lennon]], who had grown up at nearby [[251 Menlove Avenue]]. Beaconsfield Road, where Strawberry Field is located, is a side street from Menlove Avenue. One of Lennon's childhood treats was the garden party that took place each summer, on the grounds of Strawberry Field. Lennon's [[Mimi Smith|Aunt Mimi]] recalled, "As soon as we could hear the [[Salvation Army Band]] starting, John would jump up and down shouting, 'Mimi, come on. We're going to be late.'"<ref>The Beatles, [[Hunter Davies]], London, 1968, p. 9</ref>
