Sabrina
Thoresby Hall hotel guide
Thanks to Jeremy H in 2008, we have two lovely new pics of Sabrina from the Thoresby Hall hotel guide. The guide says:
In the Spring of 1957, Thoresby Hall opened its doors to the general public for the first time. The starlet Sabrina was employed at the press launch to lend glamour to the event in the guise of Maid Marian. In one picture she posed on the Grand Staircase, and in another she cuddles up to 'Robin Hood'; a statue by Tussaud-Birt, a grandson of Madame Tussaud. The statue which stood in the centre of the courtyard is now to be seen in the Stables Gallery.
Thanks again, Jeremy!
Thoresby Hall
Jeremy explained:
There are two pictures of Sabrina in the Thoresby Hall hotel guide - ISBN 0851013597 - produced by Warner Hotels (http://www.warnerleisurehotels.co.uk/). They are taken at the opening of the Hall to the general public in 1957, when it was still a stately home... I don't know if you can still get this particular booklet. I got it in 2002, when my stepson was working at the Hall. It's a rather lavish 36-page production, and I don't suppose that's what you get when you request a brochure on the website. I wouldn't like to part with my copy, but I attach a scan of the pictures. Regards Jeremy
