'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.
