Ray Morris

Ray has recently been in contact with me asking about the Captains Arms where he worked for Tony Batey in the early 60s. He sent an email which I've forwarded to Oscar one of Tony's son's, so after more than 40yrs l'm sure they'll be in contact with each other shortly. Tony has a few photos of Ray and the Captains Arms for the site so l'll be posting them on here as soon as l get them.
Is there anyone else out there who remembers Ray? If so he would love to hear from you.

Ray has sent this photo with the caption...."You don't see too many bass saxophones like this one.RayMorris1963 from Brisbane Australia"

 

Maureens Photos

Three more from Maureen today....there she is on the booze again in the 1st one !

Can we put any names to the 2nd photo?

In the last one Maureen (on the left) - does anyone know the name of the young lady she is with?

Aunty Jeans Photos

 Two fantastic photos from Jean today, I'm not sure of the year...probably about 1958/59.

In the photo with the car Jean is with the head waiter Miguel and 2 cooks from the hotel.

Wherever Jean goes she is hardly ever without a camera, and if you ever visit Jean at home she will get out her photograph albums to show you, but its impossible to see them all - she must have hundreds! All of her albums are in perfect order & dated and she knows exactly where to find which ever one's she is looking for! Amazing !!

Here's a couple of lines from Eddie's email -

"I have been on the site for about a year now and think its brilliant , thought you might be able to use  some of these  . I worked in the Coral and West Coast around 1975 after having had a season on the beach"

Back to the 'Old Scenes'

 

Todays photos again feature the old street scenes of Lloret, the one from 1950 l think looks like the old Tea Shop street ?? or maybe around that area. 

I've no idea where Placa de Verdura is so l tried a searching on the net and all it came up with was the local fruit and veg shop!

Any ideas?

More from Maureen

 We have more of Maureens photos today, in the first taken at Tossa are Martin, Jimmy and Tony Woods.

1976 - Maureen helping herself to the wine at the BBQ!
