Captains Arms


These two should get the comments rolling in !

In the first photo dated 21-8-72 (thanks to John McSwan) John himself is behind the bar in the Captains Arms, and on the left at the front is Tommy...now in the Navy bar in Fenals.

The second photo (is this the Highwayman?) belongs to Rod still a regular visitor to Lloret. He is at the very back of the photo, also in the picture is Alan Hagger (Oh no, not him again !) next to Alan is Sally.
I did have a couple more names wrote down somewhere, but I don't know where...was it Paul on the left ?

Jackie said...

Hi, Just to answer the last question - Yes Tommy did have the 1900 club, which was owned by his father in law for many years. A nice place which was open till 5am and filled up with workers at about 3am...thanks to Maggie for the info!

Guy next to sally was Steve who worked in lloret thru the 80's and if memory serves me well he was from Yorkshire(I think)

the lad was Stevie,I too think he was a yorkshire lad or from Leek, big Matt Bianco fan. The guy at the front sat down was called John and the curly spanish was called Carlos.
