"Strawberry Fields Forever" by the Beatles is based on a real place.

The real Strawberry Field was a Salvation Army children's home in a Liverpool suburb that John Lennon remembered from his childhood. The Salvation Army website can tell you all about it. The original building was torn down, and replaced in 1973 with a smaller children's home named "John Lennon Court". It closed in 2005 and now functions as a prayer center and artists' studio under the name, the "Boiler Room".
