Pics from the Dukeof York ‘71

Many thanks to Jessica for sending me her late fathers photos which she has only just come across. His name was Fred Hall but  was sometimes known as Louis, Does anyone remember him…see the first photo.

The photos are taken in the Duke Of York (1971) so it’s possible that he was working there at that time.

First holiday with 3 other girls in 1965.  Lloret was very different in those days, La Cala was a low rise building on the corner then, owned by Edgar. He told us he came to Spain with 100 pesatas and made his fortune. Stayed in The Frigola I think. Met lots of people from Liverpool, all married couples, except one sister Mary. I remember George he was a diver by trade. Funny things you remember!
Through the couples' we met guys from Liverpool and kept in touch, they all came down to Surrey and stayed with us, Mum, Dad and brother. Don't know how my Mum managed with such a house full but she did, even though she worked full time as a nursing sister.

Returned 1966 with 3 girls. Lloret was the same with river down to beach. We met some of the guys from Liverpool as they came back as well and stayed on a campsite just out of town. We stayed in Hotel Mediterranean which was on the main street.

1972 - back again with my next door neighbour Ann, can't remember when where we stayed.
Lloret had changed in 6 years but I was obviously hooked by the place as came back again in

1973 with two girls and stayed in Hotel Alhambra up the road left before the church?

1975 - Took a 3 day package holiday with Jackie Caseley and stayed for a month living in Maria's pension and bought a cheap flight ticket home to Gatwick from a holiday rep in The Highlander, I recall it cost us £16 which included the transfer!  Met lots of Glaswegians and kept in touch. I went up to Glasgow and a big car load came down to a party in Horsham and stayed a week!

1976 - Stayed for the Season and worked in La Cala and Yates' Wine Lodge. Did a bit of baby sitting for Geoff Bentham. A lot of the lads from Glasgow came back. Friends came over and stayed for a holiday. My other half Dave (now divorced) worked in Londoner as under manager to Chris Stanley. We went up to Greenock New Year and stayed with Irene McEleny and family.

1977 - Came on holiday. Stayed with Chris, Terry and baby Lisa. Drove down this time. Chris and Terry came back to UK and stayed with us in Windsor where we had a pub, The Copper Horse. Had visits from Martin Glover and pals who were living nearby at the time. Although Chris Stanley got a job here in Bristol he couldn't settle and went back to Lloret.

Unfortunately lost touch when we moved pubs, have tried to find various people on Facebook but no luck.

What a great time we all had, Lloret is calling me again, as Arnold Schwarzenegger once said - I'll be back!
