Another good crowd !

I'm not sure where this was taken or when, (mid 80s?) but there's quite a few well known faces here.
Just to name a few, Ann (ex Tea Shop) Frankie, Jimmy Rockerfeller, Steve and ???

The Londoner, Lloret de Mar 1978

Thanks to Joan, for sending these photos through. I met Joan in Gerry's when she was here with two friends last week who all worked out here years ago and Joan said she would send some photos for the site. Joan's maiden name was Winters and she worked in Rosy's restaurant on San Pedro. Here are two of the photos she sent along with the names she gave.

''First picture was taken when the world cup was on in 1978 at the far back I think with his two hands in the air is Brian next to him Alex Miller in front of him Colin, Stewart , ? ,? ,??, Andy Anderson, don't know who the girl is at the end with the flag. Ian anderson with the tartan bunnet on Stevie Lynch, Kenny, Andy Milroy, Chico and Willie Archibald. Maybe someone out there can fill in the blanks ?
Second picture was taken in 1980 showing the beach and how much it has changed since then , it's not the best picture but it might be of use to you.''

The Badge Sellers!

Another photo from Jean, there she is at the back in blue. Its taken at the bus station, so my guess is that Jean was travelling back home that day. How many more places other than Lloret where that would happen?
Whenever you arrived or went back home there was always some one there to meet you!
Also in the photo is Big Al at the front, from left to right is Rona, Jean and then two of Maggie & Colins badge sellers Debbie & Mary.

A not so old beach scene, not looking much different today.

Gerry's Bar

Two photos from Colin & Maggie's album. The top one looks as though it was taken outside Gerry's. Colin at the back with Sales (I think) on the right.

A regular visitor to Gerry's in the mid 80s was the Danish footballer Micheal Laudrup (bottom photo on the left) he later went on to play for Barcelona in 1989-94.

Here's a good one !

One from Steve's (Buzzbys) album above, a few well known faces ... looks like Max was star of the show here!...... That right max ?

A postcard scene (sent by John Round) of Fenals beach, not sure of the year maybe mid 80s ?

Sergeant Peppers

Since I started this site I've had lots of good feed back from everyone, and where ever I go in Lloret people always have something to say about the latest photo! Just recently I've seen Stuart (from Homers) who has been trying to put a comment on for Angus, but without success so far. If any one has the same problem an alternative way to get your message across is to just go to the top of left hand column and click on where it says - 'View my complete profile' you can then contact me by Email, and forward any message to me. I'll then put your comments in the blog for you.

These photos were sent in (via email) by Anthony Angus a while ago, along with details of each photo, and also a brief description of what he is doing these days!

''Inside Sgt Peppers the year before it was refurbished. The womans name was Carmen, and the guy with the tartan sash was Jack from Edinburgh (I'm sure you'll remember him, he worked in the kitchen in the Pic for years. He died suddenly outside Sgt Peppers one night) We went to meet his parents in Edinburgh afterwards which was not nice, but I'm sure they appreciated it''

''I worked in Sgt Peppers for about five seasons for Andy Milroy, and then the last year there I was up at Scotch Corner with Stuart McKay and Stevie.

I met my wife Jane in Lloret and we're married with an 8 year old daughter now . We live in East Kilbride in Scotland.

I've been off work since June after an accident on holiday in Turkey, but I'm recovering well touch wood, and will hopefully make a full recovery by next year.''

Boadella Beach

Photo's here from Jean's photo album or should I say ALBUMS....she has hundreds of photos dating back as far as 1958!
Every one who ever came to Lloret must have met Jean at sometime. She was never without her camera when she went round town. Here she is with her late husband Les, on Boadella Beach of all places,(1958-59) I'm sure even some people who lived in Loret all those years ago never ventured over to Boadella or had even heard of it!

Here she is again in more recent times 1988, this again is Boadella at one of the very popular beach party's.

Many thanks to Jean for taking the time to sort through her photos (2 days it took her!) and bring these over for me to use on the blog....we have many more to go through yet !

P.S. I forgot to mention- Jean is the one in the black swimsuit over to the left.

Gerry's Bar.

A good crowd here outside Gerry's Bar. This is one of Omelette's photo's kindly sent through by Carol.
The photo below is from Gill now working in the Barratina. Showing Beth who looked after Simon (Julie & Gerry's son) and Chris & Gill's daughter Nicola during the summer of 1984. This is also taken outside Gerry's.

Were you one of the Highwayman's clowns ?
