The Great Train Robbery - an original Bank Of England Ten Shillings note signed by x9 of the robbers, including; leader Bruce Reynolds, Gordon Goody, Bob Welch, Roy James, Tommy Wisbey, Buster Edwards, Charlie Wilson, Ronnie Biggs (twice - the rear featuring a sketch by him of a train), and James Hussey. All signed in blue / black ink to the front. Unique item. The Great Train Robbery was the robbery of £2.6 million from a Royal Mail train heading from Glasgow to London on the West Coast Main Line in the early hours of 8 August 1963, at Bridego Railway Bridge, Ledburn, near Mentmore in Buckinghamshire, England. After tampering with the lineside signals in order to bring the train to a halt, a gang of fifteen, led by Bruce Reynolds, attacked the train. Other gang members included Gordon Goody, Buster Edwards, Charlie Wilson, Roy James, John Daly, Danny Pembroke, Jimmy White, Ronnie Biggs, Tommy Wisbey, Jim Hussey, Bob Welch and Roger Cordrey, as well as three men known only as numbers "1", "2" and "3". A 16th man, an unnamed retired train driver, was also present. With careful planning based on inside information from an individual known as "The Ulsterman" (erroneously named as Patrick McKenna in 2014), the robbers escaped with over £2.6 million (equivalent to £53.5 million today). The bulk of the stolen money was never recovered. Though the gang did not use any firearms, Jack Mills, the train driver, was beaten over the head with a metal bar. Mills' injuries were severe enough to end his career. After the robbery, the gang hid at Leatherslade Farm and famously used the money in a game of Monopoly - unwittingly incriminating themselves whilst doing so as the Monopoly set was used to garner finger prints of the suspects and was instrumental in the Police arresting most of the gang. The ringleaders were sentenced to 30 years in jail.

George Romney (Beckside 1734-1802 Kendal)A compositional sketch, possibly for The departure of Hector, graphite on laid paper19 x 15cm (7 1/2 x 5 7/8in).Footnotes:We are grateful to Alex Kidson who suggests that this early and unusually full drawing possibly shows the Trojan commander, Hector, embracing his wife Andromache on the eve of battle, a subject that Romney revisited many times over the years. The shape in the foreground could be his father, King Priam, rising from the ground in front of the couple. The size of the sheet suggests that this drawing may have come from one of the Baroda sketchbooks.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
