Thanks to Dee for the photo and propaganda items from from the old Hotel Niza which is now the 'Esmeralda Hotel' just round the corner from Gerrys bar and hasnt changed a bit! Also a leaflet from a place called 'Top Ten' a place I've not heard of before, does anyone else remember it?
"I’ve been following Lloret Old Stuff for some time now and it brings back great memories. I first came to Lloret in 1968 and worked for a short time in the Istanbul when it first opened. I then came back in 1974 and 1975 when I worked in the Sundoor, Moby Dick and a Viajes up near the market and also for a travel co. called Cathedral. I then came back again in 1980, 1981 & 1982 when I was travelling down with the coaches from England and staying with clients for their weeks holiday. I made loads of friends including Roger & John and Reg & Jan Kirby and look back on those times with very fond memories. Recently I was tidying my loft space and came across a lot of propaganda from the 60’s and many photos from all the times I was there. There are so many and I don’t want to swamp you but thought I could scan and send just a few at a time if you would like them. I’m attaching a couple of samples now. A flier from the hotel Niza where the Istanbul was located ( very modern for its time!) and another from the Top Ten Disco which some may remember. There’s also a photo of me and my friend Diane with the monkey who was always around in the 70s – you will probably recognise the person behind!"
