Nancy Roberts – Sheplegh Sweetheart!

Another from the set of Nancy Roberts taken in the grounds of Sheplegh Court in 1959, when she was a mere 20 years old! Looking at the details on the box of these glass plates I now recognize the handwriting as that of Leslie L. Bainbridge, editor of H&E (Health & Efficiency) magazine and then Girl Illustrated. A stunning shot of Nancy who seems to appear in many of Bainbridge’s early H&E magazines and several ‘naturist’ films, including the new one in my collection ‘World Without Clothes’.

Nancy Roberts – Sun Kissed on The Steps (1959)

Nancy Roberts on the steps of a building in the grounds of Sheplegh Court, Devon from a scan of a photographic glass plate. Another from the set of Nancy in the grounds of Sheplegh Court in 1959, when she was a mere 20 years old and taken by Leslie Bainbridge, editor of H&E (Health & Efficiency) magazine. A beautiful shot of a sun kissed Nancy laying on those steps in just a hat 🙂

An Underexposed Clyda! (1973)

Clyda Rosen on the cover of Fiesta Vol.7 No.9 (Sept 1973) looking rather demur and underexposed! I suppose we are used to seeing rather more of Cylda than we do in this shot, as even her large tits are partially covered and she’s kept her knickers on for now. I suppose it is the cover of Fiesta and there is only so far you can go on a fairly mainstream top shelf mens magazine in the 70’s 🙂

Is It Rosemary or Alana? – Mayfair Vol.11 No.9 (1976)

Alana Ford better known as Rosemary England from Mayfair Vol.11 No.9 (Sept 1976). I’m a big fan of Rosemary but up until now have never posted anything on here of her, but a fan recently asked if I had anything, so revisited my collection of her and came up with this from Mayfair of her. It has to be one of my favourite sets published of her and I particular like the last centrefold shot of her as Mayfair’s Girl of The Month. A beautifully shaped woman with a hell of a body and thick lush bush that was so popular in the 1970’s.

Rosemary posed on more than one occasion with Mary Millington and there is an actual legitimate reason for her to be on this blog. She appeared in the color Climax film No.1429 – Arabian Knights (1979) produced by Harrison Marks and it is one of the only films in which she actually does hardcore, with the help of Nikki Stanton 🙂 Incidentally a further link is that an older and larger Annette Johnson also appeared in the film as another of the 7 females in the Harem, although I don’t believe she was involved in the hardcore part of the film.

Nancy Roberts – Fun In The Hay (1959)

A stunning shot of Nancy Roberts laying in the hay at Sheplegh Court. Taken on a glass plate by Leslie Bainbridge in September 1959 Nancy looks fabulous as she lays in the hay basking in the sun.

Vera Day – Spick No.10 Cover (1954)

Vera Day adorning the cover of Spick No.10 (Sept 1954) in a very nice red and black bikini. The sub title says ‘Starlet Moving Up’ and she obviously hit her prime in 1962 when she posed for Harrison Marks nude! Thanks to Paul from Firebird London for this great copy.

Gillian Hanna – The Perfect Glass Holder! (Original)


Gillian Hanna or as she is better known Jennifer Eccles showing us her great glass holders, although the wine may get a little warm, as I know I would between those! This original shot was sent to me by the photographer himself, Terry Sparks and as many of you would know Terry has kindly been sending me some of his work along with some fantastic stories.

This shot also comes with a little story attached and Terry comments that  ‘In September of 1977 I photographed a girl that I knew as Gillian Hanna. She was a bit of a nutcase, heavily into porn both stills and film. I only worked with her the once, as she was not really right for the markets I was shooting for at the time.

Well we all know the type of material that Gillian/Jennifer went on to do in the 1970’s and onwards, but what a fantastic find as I’ve not seen this shot of her before. Thanks to Terry for sharing his image and story, unfortunately he only has the one shot of her remaining.

A Kneeling Nancy (1959)
