Sorry not many posts recently due to the back still being bad, but hopefully this will make up for things? Kay Stephens otherwise known as Dawn Grayson from a scan of an original negative posing on a garden pathway in stockings and garters! I have several of Dawn/Kay from this set posing on this garden pathway beneath an arbour, but this has to be one of my favourites. Dawn looking very glamorous in this shot, as she runs her hand up a stockinged leg, but no idea as to location?

Well winter has finally landed in the UK this week with the first real hard frosts and snow in places. So this original image of June dressed in gloves, boots and sheepskin coat seems appropriate today.

Clyda’s Barn Door Double View!


I more refined and tame shot of Clyda Rosen than we normally saw. Looking stylish in her shorter swept hair, we get a topless view of her posing outside against an old wooden barn door. A beautiful shot of Clyda and her magnificent pair!

Busting Out With Angela!


I’ve managed to get a full set of 36 images of the ‘Oh Nurse!’ set, featuring Angela in the countryside dressed and stripping out of a nurse’s uniform. I’d published those I’d previously found, but I’ll get the rest edited and published when I can. This one is an early shot in the set as it has Angela still clothed, if only just, but bursting out from her tight-fitting bra!

I’ve also had it recently confirmed that her real name was Trudy Eyre by Terry Sparks, or that was the name her wrote on the cheques when he paid her for modelling sessions with him. I didn’t know Terry had even photographed Angela/Trudy, but he’s sent me through a selection of his shots of her and some look very familiar indeed and ended up in some popular men’s publications back in the late 1960s. But those shots are for another day and another post. :)

June Palmer – Cardigan, Leggings & Tree! (Original)

Another original shot of a young June Palmer posing in spotted leggings and black cardigan, as she poses against a tree. This is the start of another mini set of 12 images of June and the Tree from a 35mm film strip sent over by John. They aren’t as good quality as some of the larger format negatives, but with a little tweaking and scratch removal they come up pretty well, like this shot. This shot is about as risky as the shots I’ve got go, with one boob and nipple exposed. I’m sure there must be further films out there where she removes more, but maybe not?

Maria Frost – Incognito Flash!

An incognito Maria Frost wearing a short dark wig giving us a flash, whilst enjoying the sun! An original From Terry Sparks, I wouldn’t have known it was Maria, if not for the fact Terry had told me and that she wears that chain and cross in a fair few images I have seen. She also tends to like her wigs in the shots I’ve seen. Brilliant shot from Terry and is that a string vest I see, because that’s definitely the way to wear one if it is!

June Palmer – Three Birds in a Bush!

I came across this shot over on Tumblr posted by Magoothings and had never seen this shot of June before. The shot taken in a garden location features not only a young June, but also Nancy Roberts (stood) and Maureen Frawley a third unknown model. I never knew June had posed with Nancy, but it would make sense that their paths must have crossed at some point and this is one of those occasions. At a guess I think this location may be somewhere like Sheplegh Court around 1960, with the photographer being Leslie Bainbridge? Only because both June and Nancy posed for Leslie early in their careers, but I may be completely wrong.

It’s still a great photo of June and friends and when I asked about it’s original, Magoothings said he’d seen a copy of this shot on eBay Germany, but I could find it to see if there were any others.  Thanks to Magoothings for letting me share this great image, plus another of Nancy over on Kamera Club, and if anyone can shed any light on this image or the third model, please do let me know?

Edit: Thanks to Portland, who has identified the third model as Maureen Frawley :)

On The Right Track with Margaret (Original)

Margaret Nolan with longer hair posing for Harrison Marks on a railway line, probably on location down in Cornwall, as he’s used this track and location in shots before with other models. This image of Margaret also seems to come from the same shoot as this shot of her in the forest, as she seems to have the same hair style and make-up.

A stunning shot of Margaret on the tracks and she looks quite young in the shot, but still probably early to mid 1960’s I think?

June Palmer – A Quick Drinks Break! (Original)

[nonmember][/nonmember]

We’ve had cigarette’s, now for booze and fast cars! A brilliant shot of June posing for a publicity shot or advert I assume, sat on the back of a vintage car with a glass of wine in hand.

The Grasshopper Inn, which is prominent in the shot still exists today and can be found in Westerham, Kent and is advertised as a privately owned, recently restored, beautiful Tudor building set in the idyllic Kent countryside.  There are many images of the Inn online, but I couldn’t find this particular view, but I’m sure it has changed considerably since then! It is also close to Oxted and I have other shots of June from this same shoot with her sat on the bonnet and roof of the darker vintage car at a crossroads with Oxted on a sign.

The darker car is possibly a Jaguar, as may the white one be, but not 100% sure? A great piece of June Memorabilia that is different from the normal glamour related stuff and a snapshot of things back then.

Update: Thanks to MadMax who sent this message to me – ‘The cars are both Elva Couriers and this looks very like a publicity photoshoot for advertising or brochures. Elva were based in Bexhill, then Hastings so this part of Kent would have been almost on their doorstep.’. Madmax is spot on because if you go to the Elva website there are two colour photo’s taken outside the Grasshopper at the same time as the one above, one even has June in it with the title “Arrive in style and enjoy a glass of ‘warm’ beer and a Babycham for your lady.” – Fantastic and thanks to MadMax.

On further searching I’ve found another shot of June posing in a bikini in a white Elva here, that identifies the car as a 1961 Trojan-built MkIII Elva Courier. I also found ‘Fast Elva Ladies’ Page featuring June in two shots as well here. Which then also led me to this image of June I’d already posted in the now identified car :)

I love stumbling across things like this and all from one image :) More images of June and the Elva to come …
