Penny Lane is the title of a song by The Beatles, written by Paul McCartney, recorded during the Sgt. Pepper sessions, and released in February, 1967 as one side of a double-A sided single, along with Lennon's "Strawberry Fields Forever". Beatles producer George Martin has stated he believes the pairing of these songs results in probably the greatest single ever released by the group. Both songs were later released on the US Magical Mystery Tour album in November, 1967. The song features contrasting verse-chorus form and was credited "Lennon-McCartney" although McCartney was the sole writer on the song. The song's title is derived from the name of a street in the English city of Liverpool. The area that surrounds its junction with Smithdown Road is also commonly called Penny Lane. Locally the term "Penny Lane" was the name given to Allerton Road and Smithdown Road and its busy shopping area.

McCartney and John Lennon grew up in the area and they spent a lot of time playing on Penny Lane junction as children. The street is an important landmark, sought out by most Beatles fans touring Liverpool. In the past, street signs saying "Penny Lane" were constant targets of tourist theft and had to be continually replaced. Eventually, city officials gave up and simply began painting the street name on the sides of buildings. This is still the case at the Smithdown Road junction, but there is a conventional sign at the other end of the street.

A famous Penny Lane is a street in a city called Liverpool on the North West coast of England. It is where the group called "The Beatles" recording studio was in the 60's. It is depicted on one of their album covers. To answer your question fully you need to give the name of the town or city and even the post code, especially London. As the name can be quite common.

Named for James Penny in the 1800's.. made his money slave trading. Yeah the Beatles made the name famous. There was talk of changing the name of Penny Lane because of the way Mr Penny made his pennies, but the name stays.. Londoners breathe a sigh of relief...*AHHHHHH*
