harvey19 Â Â 541 #1 Posted November 18, 2011 Can anyone remember when the Locarno on London Road changed its name and interior design by having palm trees dotted around ? I seem to think it was 1968 or 1969 but am not sure when. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
mikeG Â Â 15 #2 Posted November 18, 2011 I went there late 1970. Think it was Tiffanys then. Must have changed its name between 1964 and 1970 - I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It then became Tiffany's, and they had a house band called New Society, featuring Pam & Eve, what became of them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I remember going to the Sunday night dances in the mid 1960s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
