Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

Not a memory but a question: does anybody have a photo of the Maesteg grammar/technical school badge for the 1960s, with some Moto Tentando Superabimus? nickdavies007@aol.com
I lived in West st, Maesteg, until 1959, when I moved to South Shields.
I was interested to see the photgraph of Maesteg,with the shop Leila Daniel Leila and i married in Vancouver in 1978,and i think that's her Father standing in the shop door way,although i never met him. . Regards, Alan Robertson.
I so remember the 7777 club & the owner Clem Williams ....Clem would book my show several times through the year & I considered him a friend I used to love the rides in his old Rolls Royce ...I often wondered what happened to the club & Clem ...I moved up North and then lived abroad a few years later & lost touch.
