What happened to the Beatles on Abbey Road?
The Beatles did little promotion of Abbey Road directly, and no public announcement was made of the band's split until McCartney announced he was leaving the group in April 1970. By this time, the Get Back project (by now retitled Let It Be) had been re-examined, with overdubs and mixing sessions continuing into 1970.
Where was the Beatles Abbey Road photo taken?
It was taken by the late Scottish photographer Iain Macmillan who stood on a ladder in the middle of the street while a policeman blocked the traffic. The whole thing was done in roughly 10 minutes. The crossing was outside the Abbey Road studios in London, where the Beatles recorded their albums.
