It's a snap in the life of the Sgt. Pepper album.
Paul McCartney was sitting at a bus shelter waiting for John Lennon to meet him on Penny Lane, a street near their houses. While sitting there Paul jotted down the things he saw, including a barber's shop with pictures of its clients and a nurse selling poppies for Remembrance Day (November 11th or the day World War 2 officially ended). He later turned these into the song we now know. Penny Lane still contains the bank and barber's shop mentioned in the song, however the shelter in the middle of the roundabout where the nurse sells the poppies has now become a restaurant named Sgt. Pepper's Bistro.

It's very British. It's from the Beatles song "Penny Lane" from the Sgt. Pepper album. Penny Lane is a real place. The line refers to the singer seeing and hearing a special place.

It means Paul McCartney from the Beatles, who made the song, was remembering and reminiscing about their childhood place which had a street named Penny Lane.

It is british. The song is referring to a very familiar spot which can be remembered easily right down to the sights and sounds. Beatles sang it best.
