The Beatles filming their video for the song "Strawberry Fields Forever"
The Beatles filming their video for the song " Strawberry Fields Forever" at Knole Park in Sevenoaks, Kent, on Monday 30th January 1967.

The films were both produced by Tony Bramwell and directed by Swedish director Peter Goldmann, on the 30th and 31st January, and also on 7th February.
Work had just begun on the album Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, but there was a feeling that the group needed new music released as soon as possible, their first new music since August 1966 Revolver album.
" Strawberry Fields Forever" was released on the 13th February 1967 as a double A-side single with " Penny Lane". The song was written by John Lennon but credited to the Lennon-McCartney songwriting partnership. Lennon wrote the song in Almeria, Spain, where he was filming a role in the anti-war comedy How I Won the War. He drew inspiration from his childhood memories of playing in the garden of Strawberry Field, a Salvation Army childrens home near to where he grew up in Liverpool. The double A-side peaked at number 2 on the Record Retailer chart, behind Engelbert Humperdincks " Release Me", thereby breaking the bands four-year run of chart-topping singles in the UK.
