Elaine Desmond – River Dance! (1966)

A shot of Elaine Desmond down by the river taken by Harrison Marks and sent through by Kevin from one of his original negatives. Location wise I’m still not sure this is Ewhurst, but rather a location down in Cornwall, as I’ve seen similar shots at this dam used in Kamera on Location 66 with Gill Evans.

Vicky Ashley – Paddling Pool Pose


Never has a kid’s yellow paddling pool looked so inviting as in this shot! This is the second shot of Vicky Ashley taken by Terry Sparks in the grounds of Ewhurst manor in 1969 (10th June). A wonderfully composed shot by Terry of Vicky, with the wet yellow blouse working very well with the yellow of the pool. Only one more shot of Vicky by Terry left to go at Ewhurst, which is a shame as I’m really enjoying these shots of Vicky, especially this one.

Shoot, It's Britt Hampshire!

Sombrero’s are the theme of the day and this one looks extremely good on a smoking hot Britt Hampshire with her prefect little pair. Not sure about the whole pose, but Having Britt in nothing but the sombrero and gun holster helps!

Christine Jensen & The Squirrel! (1968)

Two shots of Christine Jensen from a shoot by Terry Sparks that appeared on a couple of Russell Gay publications or work purported to be by Russell Gay! The first is Fiesta Vol. 1 No.11 (Jan 1968) and the second a Whitestone Book No.84, British Figure Beauty. Christine looks great on both covers, just not sure about that squirrel!
Thanks to Terry for sharing these great covers of Christine.

Nice Sombrero, But Who is She? – Lynn Reeves

This one is driving me mad! I came across this shot of a model I recognise, but damned if I can remember her name, which I’m sure will be obvious once I find out, but anyone know?
This along with several other well known 1960’s models were over on Flickr and posted by a user who’s Dad took the photo’s in the 1960’s.  I noticed shots of June Palmer, June Russell, Jayne Tracey, Elaine Desmond and the above model.  I’ve tried to contact him to see if there are others and let him know I’ve posted this shot (Always nice to ask!)
Great shot if I could remember who she was! Edit: Thanks to everyone that identified her as Lynn Reeves :)

Ann Walker – Divided Attention!

Ann Walker from the 1950’s Glamour book and published by Russell Gay for one of his magazines, but publication and photographer unknown (Terry Sparks?).  A great pose from Ann with bright red lips against the background of a wrought iron room divider, or whatever you want to call it!

Audrey Crane – Can You Guess What I'm Wearing? (1958)

A shot of Audrey Crane from In Focus No.3 (1958) posing on the telephone in a little black number whilst having a smoke! You can just imagine her on the other end of the phone like this back in the 1950’s talking naughty to someone on the other end.  All very sophisticated, not like those 0800 numbers advertised today (so I’m told!)
