A haul of “priceless” stolen photographs and letters belonging to actress Stephanie Beacham have been found.

The personal items were discovered by Sittingbourne Community College pupil Jordan Mothersole,12, and his father Richard among fly-tipped rubbish by the Kingsferry Bridge.

Having rescued the collection, which was in a suitcase, they contacted the former Dynasty star who has arranged for it to be picked-up later this week.

Speaking from Spain, Mrs Beacham, 68, said: “I never thought I’d see my photographs or letters again. They were stolen in February. I’m absolutely thrilled.”

The Mothersoles’ day of “dynasty” began on Sunday afternoon when they drove to a favourite fishing spot off Sheppey Way alongside Kingsferry Bridge.

As they headed back, they noticed three suitcases among an array of waste and furniture.

Having decided to take a closer look, Jordan said the first two contained broken pottery and bits of wood.

The third suitcase proved far more intriguing.

“I thought there were just some books at first, then I saw they were photo albums,” Jordan said.

“Dad said to me, ‘Do you know who this person is? It’s Stephanie Beacham’. I went, ‘Who the hell’s that?’ When he told me she was a world famous actress, I was shocked.”

They decided to take the case back to Richard’s home and tried to contact the glamorous actress via Facebook.

Year 7 pupil Jordan said minutes later, Mrs Beacham, who became a global superstar as ‘superbitch’ Sable Colby in 1980s US soap Dynasty, phoned to express her gratitude.

“She said there had been a robbery, but not to worry, the special police were on to it,” he said.

“She sounded very posh and very grateful.”

It transpired the suitcase was taken from a white Transit van in Norwood, South London, as it was being moved into storage.

Mrs Beacham, whose TV credits also include Star Trek – The Next Generation and Coronation Street, said a second stolen suitcase containing personal items belonging to her daughter Chloe was found in April by members of the public in Westerham.

She said a reward might be on the cards for Jordan.

“It’s better that he learns you work for honesty,” she said.
