The Beatles' Abbey Road and conspiracy theories...

Forty years ago yesterday, at 11.35am, The Beatles walked across a zebra crossing in an innocuous North London street. 

The photoshoot for their new Abbey Road album happened just yards from the eponymous recording studios and took ten minutes - only six frames were taken by the photographer, Iain Macmillan, who was perched on a stepladder. 

It has since become one of the most iconic covers in history for two reasons - no album cover has inspired more imitations, and none has spawned such a mass of conspiracy theories. More + photos...

Don 't miss:

  1. Beatles' fans flock to Abbey Road...

  3. First they laugh at you for being a conspiracy theorist...
  4. History's greatest "conspiracy" theories...
