rockinbaz42 0 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Does anyone know of a club which used to be in Long Eaton in the 50's or 60's which I've been told was called 'The Mayfair Club? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fynger 841 Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 i remember the 'Zingari' club Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 242 Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 I "think" the Zingari is still in business. For some reason Mayfair Club rings a bell, but I cannot pin it down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sham69 0 Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 The Mayfair Club did exist. I've been racking my brains trying to remember. I think it was where Brennans now is, that used to be the Conservative Club, on Regent Street. I think that was the Mayfair. Not 100% sure though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 242 Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 I think you are correct - it was the old Conservative Club (location of many happy dances from my teenage years) and I vaguely remember driving past a few years ago and seeing the name change, thinking "Mayfair" was a little extravagant! The Labor Club was almost opposite - on Lawrence Street - which I always thought was a little amusing. That building is still there too, but I have no idea what it is now.

That building is still there too, but I have no idea what it is now. Where I think I might be wrong is that the Labour Club has been most recently called the Embassy Club. It closed about a year ago. The name Embassy is similar in many ways to Mayfair (in terms of era etc) , so I feel I might be confusing myself. The Labour Club/Embassy Club is currently being modernised by builders. I walked past there a couple of nights ago and it looks like its been divided into 4 separate units and looks like its going to be shops of some description. I recall there being discos in the Labour Club in the early 70's, but never went to any. I'll ask around and see what I can find out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry about the delay! Yes, I vaguely remember an Eamon Gill living in Long Eaton. There may have been a large Gill family in the area. If memory serves me correctly, Eamon had a small "local celebrity" status! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hippo girl 1,995 Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 hi Eric, hope you have or are enjoying your trip...Eamon did come from a large family, Bracken road area....but lost touch and wondered what had happened to him...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 242 Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Had a great time - and Stu came up and walked with us last Wednesday - despite the rain! That Eamon lived on Bracken Road makes sense - since I delivered groceries from the Grasmere Road Co-Op in my younger years! Another local "lad" was Billy Matchett - who lived down by Longmoor School I believe - anyhow, for a while he was the landlord at the Steamboat at Trent Lock (closed last time I went there in March).
