Liverpool John Lennon Airport is identified by the lyric "above us, only sky" painted across its roof, a line taken from the song "Imagine" by the musician for whom the facility is named. Originally opened in nineteen thirty-three as Speke Airport, the site sits on land that once belonged to the Tudor manor Speke Hall. During the Second World War, the grounds hosted a secret factory for constructing bombers, and the airport functioned as a Royal Air Force base.
