Beatles pictures found in family album after 50 years - now up for auction

Twenty unpublished black and white pictures of the Beatles are to go for auction after being found lying around in a family album for nearly 50 years.

They were taken behind the scenes during the filming of 'A hard Day's Night' in 1964.

Taking pictures on the set was banned to stop leaks of new material, but the props manager at Pinewood Studios, Peter Allchorne, was able to walk around with a Kodak Retinette camera.

He thought they were just another band larking about on set and didn't even like their music.

The photos go on sale in Stockport, Cheshire, on May 19.

Pictures that helped to change America’s labour laws - superb black and white images

The Mail features some brilliant sepia-toned, black and white pictures from the Library of Congress by teacher-turned-photographer Lewis Wickes Hine that helped to change America’s labour laws.

Hine took the photos, featuring working children as young as three years old, between 1908 and 1924 for the National Child Labor Committee, the organisation that lobbied for tougher labour legislation.
