Liverpool road signs mentioned in Sir Paul McCartney's new album have been stolen again.
Speke's Dungeon Lane became world-famous in March after the 83-year-old Beatle announced his new album would be called The Boys of Dungeon Lane.
The album, described as an ode to post-war Liverpool, where McCartney spent his childhood, was released alongside the lead single, Days We Left Behind.
Liverpool City Council, which only restored the signs in May, said it was "deeply disappointed that someone would act selfishly by stealing the Dunjon Lane street sign.".
The restoration came after the Liverpool City Region Tourist Guides Association said Beatles fans were disappointed to find nothing of interest on the street.
A city council spokeswoman said: "These signs are an important part of our streets and replacing them costs both taxpayers' money and staff time.".
«"With the release of Paul McCartney's new album, we knew the sign would be popular and expected visitors to treat it with due respect.".
«"When replacing a sign, we ask people to think about others and only take photos of the people themselves.".

When McCartney announced the album, fans looking at the road on Google Street View saw a photo of a boy in a 1950s-style school uniform holding a fake road sign that read "Dungeon Lane Boys.".
The Boys Of Dungeon Lane was released on May 29 and is McCartney's 19th solo album in his 63-year recording career.
