Portões originais serão substituídos por réplicas, a fim de evitar que maiores danos sejam causados a eles por turistas de Liverpool:
Os portões de Strawberry Field em Liverpool foram removidos para evitar "maiores danos" causado a eles.
O Exército de Salvação, que é proprietário do lugar imortalizado em uma canção dos Beatles, irá substituir as portas originais por réplicas artesanais.
Dito isso, os portões de ferro forjado de 100 anos de idade do que era antigamente a Casa infantil do Strawberry Fields do Exército da Salvação em Woolton, será armazenado para "ser mantido em segurança".
As substituições foram feitas por um especialista local, Jim Bennett, e doado para a caridade.
Major Ray Irving, diretor de serviços sociais do Exército da Salvação, disse: "Embora os cuidados tenham sido tomados para garantir que os portões originais mantivessem-se em bom estado, inevitavelmente, o tempo tomou cobrou seu preço."
A condição do original, que mede 3 metros (10 pés) de altura e 2,4 metros de largura, serão avaliadas durante o armazenamento, disse ele.
Irving acrescentou: "Quando o Sr. Bennett entrou em contato com a gente em 2010 e explicou que ele estava criando um projeto de um conjunto réplicas das portas, nós ficamos muito interessados.
"Isso significa que as portas originais podem ser mantidas a salvo da deterioração e, com a réplica dos portões no lugar, permitirá uma autêntica experiência para as milhares de pessoas que vêm em peregrinação musical para Strawberry Field.
"Estamos muito gratos ao Sr. Bennett pelo seu trabalho e de forma muito generosa que nos permitiu instalar a réplica das portas."
Desde 1936 e quando John Lennon era uma criança, Strawberry Field era um imponente edifício, casa de um grande número de crianças carentes.
Foram as lembranças de Lennon sobre o local que foram imortalizadas em 1967, na canção Strawberry Fields Forever.
O edifício original foi demolido no início dos anos 1970 e foi substituído por uma casa menor construída propositadamente e finalmente fechada em maio de 2005.
O futuro a longo prazo de Strawberry Field está ainda sendo determinado pelo Exército da Salvação, que está desenvolvendo um centro para crianças e jovens com dificuldades de aprendizagem.
O patrimônio de Strawberry Fields também está sendo discutido.
Original gates to be replaced with replicas in order to prevent further damage to them from sightseers to Liverpool
The gates to Liverpool's Strawberry Field have been removed to prevent any "further damage" being caused to them.
The Salvation Army, which owns the site immortalised in a song by The Beatles, will replace the original gates with handcrafted replicas.
It said the 100-year-old wrought iron gates to what was formerly the Strawberry Field Salvation Army Children's Home in Woolton, a will be taken into storage for "safe keeping".
The replacements have been made by a local specialist, Jim Bennett, and gifted to the charity.
Major Ray Irving, director of social services for the Salvation Army, said: "Although care has been taken to ensure the original gates to the site have remained in good condition, inevitably time has taken its toll."
The condition of the original, which measures 3 metres (10ft) in height and 2.4 metres in breadth, will be assessed while in safe storage, he said.
Irving added: "When Mr Bennett got in touch with us in 2010 and explained that he was creating a set of replica gates as a project, we were very interested.
"This means that the original gates can be kept safe from further deterioration and, with the replica gates in place, allow for an authentic experience for the many thousands of people who come on a musical pilgrimage to Strawberry Field.
"We are very grateful to Mr Bennett for his work and for very generously allowing us to install the replica gates."
From 1936 and when John Lennon was a child, Strawberry Field was an imposing building, housing a large number of children who had been taken into care.
It was Lennon's memories of the site which were immortalised in the 1967 song Strawberry Fields Forever.
The original building was demolished in the early 1970s and was replaced by a smaller purpose-built home which eventually closed in May 2005.
The long-term future of Strawberry Field is still to be determined by the Salvation Army, which is looking into developing a centre for children and young people with learning disabilities.
A Strawberry Field heritage centre is also being discussed.
