If that was the Flamenco, would that explain why the Bolero on Eastgate was called that - a trend for exotic Spanish names to go with Granadas, Cortuinas and Fiestas?

There was also El Toro to the left of The Peel on Boar Lane. I'm sure we've mentioned these before on here somewhere.

The first staff moved in from Albion Street in 1970. The building was officially opened by Prince Charles in 1971.

Just been talking to an old friend who asks, was the coffee bar we're talking about (The Flamenco) by any chance called Hanandos? The name rings a bell. If it wasn't where was Hernandos?
