Gerry's Bar.

A good crowd here outside Gerry's Bar. This is one of Omelette's photo's kindly sent through by Carol.
The photo below is from Gill now working in the Barratina. Showing Beth who looked after Simon (Julie & Gerry's son) and Chris & Gill's daughter Nicola during the summer of 1984. This is also taken outside Gerry's.

The Highwayman.

Were you one of the Highwayman's clowns ?

Omelette's Photos

Thanks to Omelette for sending these through, that's him on the right with his hand on his hip as usual ! (from the mid 80s?)
Must have been compulsory to wear denim jeans that day. No names for either of these photos.

La Uva.

Another one here sent by David Sinclair, as he describes it - "A typical workers get together from the 84' season"
One of the many bodegas in town La Uva, was run by Lynne at the very back. When she gave it up Soapy and his partner Debbie took it over. After a while Soapy took ill and returned back to the UK.
Since then the building has now been turned into a garage by Lois the owner (Yes, he is still in the land of the living!) but doesn't get about much these days!
