'Rare' Beatles' memorabilia sells for £11k at auction
A Collection of previously unseen memorabilia of The Beatles before they became famous has been sold at auction.
It includes photographs taken when The Band played in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, in 1963.
A huge fan of the Fab Four, 16-year-old Sandra Woodruff (nee Blaken) tracked The Group down, after a tipoff, to room number 49 at the Royal Pier Hotel.
" It's so rare to find things signed by all four of them, " said Andrew Stowe from East Bristol Auctions.
" There is No Other collection on The Planet as unique or as important, " he added.
John, Paul, Ringo and George were about to take the International Music scene by storm in 1963.
" I guess they were enjoying the attention because it was the early days for them.
" A couple of months later and we would never have got near them, " said Mrs Woodruff.
" When they came on the radio we used to scream and my Dad would say, 'Oh, good Lord, it's The Beatles again, " she added.
The Group performed two gigs a night at The Town 's Odeon Cinema.
Mrs Woodruff had a ticket to one of the shows and said: " We asked The Lads running the Ghost Train 'Do you know where The Beatles are staying?'
" They said 'If you buy us some fags, we'll tell you. '
" So we bought them 10 Woodbine each and they said the 'Royal Pier Hotel, " she added.
Mrs Woodruff and a friend managed to sneak into room number 49.
" No doors were locked. So we went in and I thought, I've got to take something that they won't be cross about.
" In The Wardrobe there was a big pile of white pants, new ones, a big pile and In Between was a card, so I pinched that and got it signed, " she added.
The Collection attracted £11,360 at auction.
