Re: Long Awaited Unseen Photos

I've counted up and I reckon there are 42 (Eric Braun photos) that have been uploaded by John and Gerald into the Library in the Photo section. They are spread over several pages. I am thrilled with the outcome of the photos reappearing from the Eric Braun files. I'd like to give my sincere thanks t...

Re: Long Awaited Unseen Photos

Graham. I'm so pleased that I spotted the advert and was able to stop them from being sold off to just anyone resulting in them being lost forever. I think I was just in time as some had already been sold off.. . . . There are some beautiful shots of Ruby and as you say she was a very atractive woma...

Re: Long Awaited Unseen Photos

Gerald Wow! what a great job you've done with the photos, they look terrific. As you have said, some are from the same photo shoot as others we have seen. Nevertheless (cue for song) they are most welcome and I am delighted with your painstaking work. Congratulations Gerald, a job well done. (Big ro...

Updating

Friends/Fans We are currently going through quite a long sustained period where there has been nothing to report. One of the frustrating 'offenders' was/is - The naming of the new park in 'The Village' as it is called locally. This 'project' has been one long delay after another which is most annoyi...

Re: Have we seen this?

Mike. . . I think I can recall that it might have been a family of Ruby's fans in Brighouse but I can't swear to it. Sadly Rectory Cottage went through some drastic changes, some of which I was invited to see personally. As you say people have different tastes but happily no changes can be made to t...

Re: Have we seen this?

Hello Mike. I did purchase a white marble fire place and installed it in an extention wing in the house that I built with a carpenter/builder friend. It was strictly ornamental as there was no flue. As to the recording studio - that doesn't fit. We had a small bedroom in the extention to the house w...

Re: Have we seen this?

David, I followed your 'link' about the demolition, it's a huge story about demolition and redevelopement which makes very sad reading. Was it any wonder that the appeals that I made at the time to save Ruby's house and home were all to no avail. I am still fighting to get a local park named after R...

Re: Have we seen this?

David I searched for the video clip you mentioned on Youtube but couldn't find it. I did find data of my urgent pleas to the powers that be in connection with the proposed demolition. On reflection I consider that I made quite a case for preserving Ruby's house and home. Despite those pleas the demo...

Re: Plaque Unveiling Confirmed

I recently contacted the body of people who arrange BLUE PLAQUES in Northern Ireland. To 'qualify' for a BLUE PLAQUE the 'recepient' has to have been deceased 20 yrs. That is exactly the number of years since Ruby sadly left us so in fact she 'qualifies'. I received a reply telling me that because t...

Explaining the Delay

Fans/Friends Due to major disruptions in Gerald's home the rest of the 'Unseen Photos' of Ruby have had to be put onto the back burner. Major changes are taking place in Gerald's home, the bulk of which are centered around Gerald's study. The changes involve redecorating, replacing the carpet with n...

Hello Fans /friends Gerald has just sent this data to me before he dashes off for the week-end. Here's hoping that they include some of Ruby's records in their programming. Here is a copy of the data from Gerald. .......... "I have just spotted a couple of things in the Radio Times that might be of ...

Re: Long Awaited Unseen Photos

The pantomime was 'Cinderella' (Surprise, Surprise) at the Pavilion Theatre in Torquay in 1960/61. Happily the pantomime broke all box office records which pleased everyone. Derek Roy was 'Buttons' - He is/was renowned for being about the best 'Buttons' in the business. A part was written in for me ...

Re: Long Awaited Unseen Photos

Friends/Fans, I'm pleased to report that Gerald has been able to make a start on uploading the 'Unseen' Photos of Ruby that I bought from a seller on eBay. The uploading will not be done all at once, they will be spread over a period of time. The first three shots can be seen in the Photo section of...
