Mathew Street is a street in Liverpool, England, best-known worldwide as the location of the Cavern Club, where The Beatles played on numerous occasions in their early career. It is the centre of the Mathew Street Festival, which fills the streets of Liverpool every Summer. The street connects Rainford Gardens (off Whitechapel)〔in which Brian Epstein's music shop, NEMS, was situated〕 to North John Street, and is located in an area of the city centre known today as "The Cavern Quarter". Historically it was the centre of Liverpool's wholesale fruit and vegetable market.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 View Two - Fruitopia.

A wall in Mathew Street is adorned by a sculpture by Arthur Dooley entitled "Four Lads Who Shook the World". It was also home to the influential music club ''Eric's'', which played host to many famous punk bands from its opening in 1976, despite only being open for 4 years.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/mol/exhibitions/erics/ )〕 The fame of Mathew Street led to the arrest of 3 men in 2006 when a resident of Dallas, Texas, viewing the street's webcam, saw a burglary in progress and called Merseyside Police.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Texas_man_foils_burglary_in_Britain )〕 The psychoanalyst Carl Jung is often cited as visiting Liverpool in 1927, but he only recorded a dream in which he had, later published in Jung's autobiography Memories, Dreams, Reflections of which he wrote As a result a statue of Jung was erected in Mathew Street in 1987, but being made of plaster, was vandalised and replaced by a more durable version in 1993. Today, Mathew Street is one of Liverpool's most popular nightlife destinations.〔http://www.liverpool.com/pubs-and-bars.html?category_id=268〕 ==See also== * The Cavern Club * The Cavern Pub * Cavern Mecca * Liverpool Mathew Street Music Festival * Liverpool Wall of Fame 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mathew Street」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
