Ewhurst Uncovered – Part 2

Anyone that visits the pages of this blog regularly will know I’m fascinated with not only the images of GHM and others from the 1960’s, but also the background behind them.  One of my recurring themes has always been ‘Ewhurst Manor’, how it was used, but more specifically what the place looked like and the layout.

My original article about Ewhurst uncovered is here and looks at the location then and now, I followed that up with the Caper article and now I’ve found another in depth (well more images!) article!

This was published in Hi-Life magazine Vol.5 No.9 (August 1964) and included this Ann Austin article … here.

It reuses a lot of the imagery for the Caper article, but adds further insight into the layout, general frontage of the house and who used it.

Three great shots of Ewhurst and one of Mrs Clifford tending her garden and a view of the patio on the side of the main house.

A page of colour shots including Jayne Tracey and the photographers Ken Williams and she pops up again here, Doris Weems!  It looks like again most of this imagery was used in the caper magazine, but does show a few different shots of Doris shooting Jayne on the front doorstep and inside.

Angela Jones also makes an appearance in this article, again being photographed by Ken Williams at the cottage door and gardens, along with another unknown model.

Finally, more GHM making his film on the driveway and front lawn of Ewhurst, before tea is taken with a couple of models including Vivienne Warren.  The narrative on this part makes me laugh as it refers to GHM as the ‘Head cameraman of the crew’.  All the images for this article were taken by Ed Alexander, but he doesn’t actually appear as far as I can see.

So all in all another good article about Ewhurst, with some new views of the house I’ve not seen before and better quality images of Doris Weems.  All of which adds more information around Ewhurst, it’s layout and how it was used.

The more I read and find out about Ewhurst, the more I wish the place still stood as I’d be there like a shot to have a look round!

So, any more articles about Ewhurst out there?  Do let me know if any more exist and I’m a member of the Ewhurst group on Yahoo, so know what’s on there :)

The full sized scans of the documents can be found … here

Enjoy!

Ann Austin – Up Pops Another One!


I found another of this set of Ann Austin disrobing from here bikini of the front lawn of Ewhurst!  I wonder how many there are of this set, not that I’m complaining as I love finding them.  The set so far can be seen … Here, enjoy!

Annette Johnson – She Walks in Beauty

Four shots of Annette Johnson from She Walks in Beauty, with at least two or three of the shots located at Ewhurst within the grounds.  Not quite sure what’s going on with the shot by the window and the bowl of fruit in the front of the shot!

The Stripper and The Jaguar – Unknown Model not Revealed!

Following on from this article trying to identify an unknown model and some excellent feedback from Ozprof I’ve located the full article from Satana Magazine No.8 (Summer 1965) and also thought I’d had an epiphany on the model!  It’s Elaine Desmond (It’s not!) with a beehive hairstyle! I knew I recognised her but couldn’t put a name to the face.  Anyway the full article with magazine cover for completeness.  
 
Update: Thanks to the commenters below we have established it isn’t Elaine Desmond, but who is it then and was her real name Marie Provost?  Added to the unknown models page for further identification.
 
 
 
 
Molly Peters very clearly seen as the chauffeur in this shot!

Model ID Needed?

I’m going to start an unknown model page shortly as there are still a fair few models that posed for GHM and others that I’ve been unable to identify as of yet.  I’m sure all of you that follow this blog have far better knowledge than me, so may be able to help ID some of them :)

In the meantime here’s one that’s been bugging me for a while as I recognise her but can’t put a name to her.  The article says Marie, but not convinced that’s correct?

What I do know (I think!) is it was part of a set or article and looks to be at Ewhurst. I’m also pretty certain the driver is Dawn Grayson hidden under that cap, although if I didn’t know better I’d swear it was Michael Jackson from this shot!

All resolved and the model identified as – -Elaine Desmond!
