Back to the 'Old Scenes'

More from the recent photo exhibition here in Lloret, the exhibition has now finished but I've still got lots of the photos I took there still to go on the blog.

1. Taken in 1945, but where do you think it is? I've removed the name of the street so you cant look it up on Google Earth!
2. Looks like Sant Elm is all trimmed up for Christmas, this is one of the narrow streets which runs between the hotels leading from the paseo.
3. Behind the town hall, always easily recognised!

Andrew Foster's pics

Back to 1987 with three pictures from Andrew today all from the Rob Roy where Andrew worked for one season as well as a short time in the Laural & Hardy.

Lloret's Early Days

Back to the old scenes of Lloret with 2 photos of the beach - one from the castle end taken in 1917 which I think must be the oldest one so far. The next taken 1925 showing the other end of the beach where the water flows in.

Just as a matter of interest the recent storms and heavy rainfall just lately has caused a lot of damage to Fenals beach with the way its cut though the sand, I've put some photos on the Lloret Blog, just click here to see them >> FENALS BEACH

Photos from Sue

We have three lovely photos from Sue today - The 1st in Buzzbys taken 1998, the 2nd one from the early 80s and last but not least with Sue's daughter the year is 1996.

Maureens Photos

 

Thanks to Maureen for todays pics.

The first one looks like a staff photo, but where from?

In the next photo are Tommy, Maureen, Cheryl, Pat, at the back are Dave, Barbara and Phil.

Maureen, Jimmy, Martin and Rose are in the last photo.

Old Lloret Scenes

Two old views of the same street today, but where is it? Just a little clue - it was one of the busiest streets in Lloret at one time, but sadly not any more.

EASY....or it should be !

More from Malc

Here's the last couple of photos from Malc with the first one taken in 1978, but where was it taken?

The next photo from 1979 .... young Hammy at the front ,and again  Phil Thomson (ex football player) he seems to be in more photos than some of the workers!

Ellens Photos

Back to photos with faces on today!

These are from Theresa's facebook but the photos are Ellens

Dates, names, places anyone?

Old Lloret Scenes

 These old scenes of Lloret seem to be very popular so here's two more -

No need to tell you where the 1st picture is, but what about the 2nd one dated 1925....I've erased the name of the street, so have a guess and leave your comment....I'll give you the answer in a few days time!

Old Lloret Scenes

 Some more pics from the photo exhibition which is on show in Lloret till 27th of November.
The last photos I published from the exhibition there was one taken of a bus outside the Parada Bar, the above photo looks as though its taken in the same square looking up St Pedro with the bar on the left and and pharmacy on the right - almost in the same place as the one there now.

 No dates for these 2 photos.

Mariano's Photos

Today we have some more pics from Mariano.....I like the black & white one below, it shows how small the town of Lloret really was!

 

Lots more propaganda!

Pics from Aunty Jean

Jean at a market stall near the Town Hall

  Three lovely photos from Aunty Jean today....now in her 54th year of visiting Lloret!

 On Fenals beach in the photo below, and the last photo with Les (her late husband) in a nightclub which is now Colossos.

Photos from Maureen

Three from Maureen today, a few of the names I have for the 1st photo are - Jimmy, Spud, Tommy and Maureen herself in the lower centre of the pic.

2nd pic - L to R  Mary, Jordi, Maureen, Jimmy, Louie and Max.

In the 3rd pic with Maureen are Gabby, Tommy, Jimmy and Max.

Older than the usual stuff!

Just now in Lloret there is a very interesting photo exhibition on until 27th November. The photos are the property of Josep Valls which he has collected over the years. I advise anyone in Lloret to go take a look as some of the very early photos are fascinating, we got a few shots of some of the best which I thought might be of interest to regular readers of the 'Old Stuff'

So just for a change here's the first few, along with the dates -

This shows one of the buses opposite what is now the Bar Parada...so named because it was then the bus station

Hotel Metropol just to the back of the Town Hall

'The Barretina Street'

Andrew's Photos

Thanks to  Andrew & Tracey for sending in a great selection of their photos, the first 2 we have here today ...they  worked in Lloret for one season back in 1987, Andrew worked in the Rob Roy and the Laurel & Hardy, while Tracey worked at the Music Star nightclub and also sold badges. I think this is the first time I've heard the 'Music Star' mentioned on the site - can any one remember where it was?

What a great example of the fashions we wore back in the 80s!
