In 1965, George Harrison was at the height of Beatlemania, yet he found solace in his home at Kinfauns, a bungalow in Esher, Surrey, where he lived with his wife, Pattie Boyd. Purchased in 1964, Kinfauns became a creative sanctuary for George, serving as a retreat from the overwhelming demands of touring and public life. It was here that he immersed himself in songwriting, experimenting with new sounds, including his growing interest in Indian music. The property also became a gathering place for his fellow Beatles, where they recorded demos, such as the acoustic sessions for The White Album in May 1968. Amid this artistic environment, George’s beloved cat, Korky, was a constant companion, adding warmth to the musician’s private world. The famous 1965 photograph of George and Korky, captured by Leslie Bryce for The Beatles Monthly, showcased a rare, candid moment of relaxation, giving fans an endearing glimpse into the personal side of the legendary guitarist.
Beyond his music, George Harrison's love for animals was well known, and his bond with Korky reflected his lifelong compassion for all living beings. As the 1960s progressed, his deepening interest in Eastern philosophy and spirituality further reinforced his commitment to kindness and harmony with nature. Even as The Beatles' fame continued to skyrocket, Kinfauns remained a peaceful haven until George and Pattie moved to Friar Park in 1970. The photo of George with Korky endures as a cherished snapshot of his early years, capturing not just a Beatle, but a man who valued tranquility, companionship, and the simple joys of life. This timeless image remains a treasured piece of Beatles history, illustrating the softer, more introspective side of George Harrison.
