Gary Thompson's photo.

 Many thanks to Gary who sent this photo taken in the OK Corral  back in 1974...he has not been back to Lloret since, so he certainly wont recognise the place when he comes again in August!

Billy & Jan's Wedding

Thanks to Billy for sending these not so 'old' photos in for the Old Stuff.

Billy gave me the following details for the photos.....

It was actually my wedding party in Feb 2006. Hammy, Linda, Willie, wee Colin, Ricky, Tilsley, Russell (Honest) Black, Stevie, Geoff Marshall, George Stuart, Gas, Wee Micky, Hagar and many others were all there. As is a habit with me, ricky and Tilsley, we were the last 3 standing at the bar at the end of the night.

Lloret de Mar Old Views

I was recently given a tourist information book which contains some pictures of Lloret from the early days. The top one has 3 dates on the page..1868, 1909 and 1912 so I'm sure sure when its from...did they have photos in 1868?

 The other photo looking not all that much different than today is 1965.

By the way the tourist guide book  from which these photos  were taken is aimed at the Russian tourist's, it just shows who who is coming to Lloret these days. We were down on the beach in Fenals on Tuesday and the only languages we heard spoken around us were Russian or Eastern Block ....Not one brit or Spanish voice was heard!
