Rare Photos of the Beatles on the Cusp of Fame Up for Auction


Via ITV News:

A collection of unseen photographs of The Beatles from their 1963 concerts in Weston-super-Mare, before they became world famous, are being put up for auction.

The series of photographs, taken by Sandra Woodruff who lives in Warmley in South Gloucestershire, show the band members on the beach and walking around the town.

The collection goes up for auction on Friday (27 May) and is expected to fetch around £10,000.

Sandra told ITV News how she managed to take the photographs: "I went down to Weston with a friend and we went onto the pier and asked some lads that were running the ghost train whether they knew where The Beatles were staying.

"They said they'd tell us if we bought them some fags so off we went and bought them 10 Woodbines each and they said, 'Yep, Royal Pier Hotel' and so off we went and there they were."
