The rare Beatles pictures show the band in a relaxed mood. The black & white snapshots include the hotel owner standing with the band, John Lennon playing with a camera and the Beatles in a car. The hotel owner later gave the photos to her friend. The friend’s daughter is now putting the previously unseen Beatles pics up for auction. The hotel owner’s daughter, who wants to remain anonymous, remembers her mother being particularly thrilled one day. Her friend who was a hotel owner arrived to tell her Mother that the Beatles were going to be guests at the hotel. Although it was to be kept quite, she recalls her mother coming home with the pictures. At the time of the band’s hotel stay, the seller was a young girl and a huge fan of the Beatles .

Amy Brenan, from Duke’s auctioneers in Dorchester, notes that the rare Beatles photos are candid shots and not posed like so many that you see. The Liverpool Lads are wearing suits and they seem at ease posing with the hotel owner. The auctioneer estimates the pictures were snapped in the mid sixties, possibly in ‘66 because that’s the time when the band performed in Bournemouth England along the coast and went down into Devon. All six photos, two of which are copied, capture the the band in the spirit of the moment. She adds that the hotel owner is passed on so we can’t ask her exactly when the pictures were taken. Beatles memorabilia is more popular now than ever, and although the auctioneer put an estimate of 30 to 60 English pounds on rare Beatles photos, they’re sure they’ll go for even more.

Other Beatles Memorabilia already sold by Duke’s Grove Auction House include a complete set of signatures on the back of a birth certificate autographed by the lads during the filming of Help!.

The Beatles unseen photos auction will be held at Duke’s Grove Auctions on August 11th in Dorchester England.
