Spindles - photo album and diary of a hideaway
belonging to silent film actress Irene Rooke in 1927
these are a few pages illustrated in May 2008 edition of World of Interiors.
Here are some more pages from the album, lovingly compiled and handbound
by Irene Rooke.
We would very much like to one day publish the album so devotees of this surreal landscape
can enjoy this secret seaside souvenir too.
For more photos of Irene Rooke -please see National Portrait Gallery entry
and many thanks to Anne Ramsden who contacted us with this wonderful photo of Irene Rooke with Charles Ashton
in Ibsen's Pilars of Society, filmed in Norway.
