STOP, the destruction of Britain video and rewind it back to here. We took the wrong path. Start again and keep on the right path this time.. If only !!
Very interesting Robert Burns. Me born and bred in cotmanhay farm. Dovedale circle. And went to bennerly school. All good memories and bad ones too 👊🏽. Now I live in the Islas Canarias. Thanks for posting this trip down memory lane. Richi 🙋🏽♂️🌴🐾🐾🐾🌵
I remember those stainless steel drinking water fountains @2.04 in my youth in the 1970s, we might have had one at school or in the park! Doesn't look very hygienic though looking back in hindsight at how theyr'e used⚠️😯
Thanks for the upload. Worth noting and this will hopefully alert others to the fact that there is footage of the original Wollaton Park adventure playground 2:51.
Glad i read your comment and enjoyed seeing that adventure playground - used to spend lots of time there as a child, such a fun place and a little dangerous too :-)
i was born in Notts but i remember living in corporation street Ilkeston in 1966 i went to hallam fields kensington and gladstone schools nice film lots of memorys
Hi we are making a film of old Ilkeston and would like to use some of your film if possible? We can be contacted at info@pastlivesproject or through the Erewash Museum.
It was. This video is - at the earliest 71-72-73. That roundabout... Many a scratches from that. Them slides were there. There was a polished wood one on the opposite side (not shown on this clip) - right fast! And of-course the paddling pool. And high swings! Sadly, we no longer live in a free country and the men with clipboards want to wrap us all in cotton wool nowadays. Hence all the fun has gone...
I was born in Heanor in 1959 and bought up in Langley Mill. Thanks for a vision of my past.
Interesting footage. I was born in Ilkeston. I'm intrigued by the wedding. I wonder who's it was. The lady sat in the bar is the image of my mother
The wedding was the landlord of the market inn at the time Tommy guys daughter Charlotte
Thank you.
Sorry to trouble. Any memories of who the lady is at approx 7.28 in the footage (holding the boy)?

Wow
Priceless clips
i remember those concrete bases to the swings!
great clips of Ilkeston. Growing up in the 70s and 80s many of those features had slipped my mind, This brings them all back.
