This movie was originally filmed on super 8mm film so the video quality is not as good as today's camcorders but I hope it brings back some memories for some folks
Factory is m, and the all EWG ist so. Fake. London Rudolf Hesse, monstermaker. A old story say if can so goid play in secret London. Animal/people she are all here . She kill my mother else.
From train from Derby to go ice skating age 12 shopped there in mid eighties .like most places now not as great
Everything we ever knew that was good has gone the clocks no more the fish tanks gone the pools outside the council house on slab square which had fountains on all the time all the department stores we ever visited most iconic the monkey on his swing which sat in the shoe shop window for over 50 years thank god he was saved and put in a museum a lot of people like to moan about Nottingham but iam very proud to say I come from here x
The year I left Nottingham to join the WRAF. When I returned twenty years later, the city I knew was already disappearing and changing, sadly not for the better. I only returned to be with family otherwise I would not have stayed.
Born near Long Eaton in '65. I always enjoyed trips to Nottingham until I left for good in '82 via the Armed Forces recruiting office shown at 2:18
I love how almost all the stuff that was in the beginning of this video is still there and looks basically the same
When buses looked like buses. I spent 10 years driving NCT buses.
So much cleaner and civilised back then. Nowadays, mass immigration has turned Nottingham into a third world cesspit.
Used to live on Victoria rd above the butchers opposite bank. 😢
A much better time..and a place ...now its a shit hole . Thanks to our local council and our Clown Goverments ..I should know ..meadows born and bred ... I'm at that age now ... old enpugh to see what has happened to my city ...roll on the 23rd of April...😂 long live the St George flag .
Its spelt centre!
Nottingham; now the city that fines drivers for merely entering it.
It doesn't feel much different from what I was in Nottingham when I was studying at Nottingham University in 2018. The development of the past 50 years seems to have stagnated.
Actually, this would have looked better before fading, dirt and a few scratches, as this owl look better than any low def video in that case. Lucky it survived.
I was born 3 years after this movie was filmed. Didn't move to Nottingham till I was 17 though.
0:48 does anyone know what the sign says, I can't really read it that well Edit: nevermind I think I know where it is
I was there at the opening of the Victoria centre, I was born in 1964 lived in sneinton and st-Anne’s good days back then, a much simpler way of life, no distractions with a mobile phone lol 😂 living in reality 👍
It was great then ,but not now
very good filming, beautiful panorama's and the poppy's helped as well, well done
I wasemt even born then bur amazing how things change so quickly looked amazing back then makes tou think
People say it's changed, but it's not really. Business names have changed but the buildings are still there. Mostly. At least the buses were still Sherwood green and not rainbow coloured.
Wow & I've just found this now, I'm a 66 kid born in Nottingham, City Hospital, & it sure did bring back memories, they live like people do!!! Thankz U Guidance & Protection Mannerz & Respect ✊🏾💯
Hi, Nottingham City Transport are making a video to celebrate their longest serving drivers retirement(Started in 1974). Would we be able to use some of the bus clips from this video? Will include an on screen credit, and it's to be used on their Facebook page uploaded over the easter weekend. Thanks!
Hi Tom You are welcome to use the bus clips. Glad they can be of use to you. Sollylab.
@@sollylab That's great thank you for the response!
CENTRE FFS!
I can't believe some people can't believe its changed so much. Actually it looks almost the bloody same to me.
What great memories this evoked. I was in my late teens, early 20s during this time and attending Clarendon College up the Mansfield Road. So many memories. Goose Fair. We used to meet at the stone lions in front of the council chambers. Every once in a while, someone would put dish washing soap{?} in the fountains and there would be a ton of bubbles over the area!! Drinking at the Flying horse, which I believe was demolished around this time. The video brought back many great memories. Thank you.
Why is centre spelt center? That's not how it's spelt in Nottingham UK.
Brilliant video . I was only 4 but great to look back how things were .😁👍👍👍
Very sad and alienating images. By 1974 pretty much everything had been destroyed including Broadmarsh area.
There’s quite bit changed since 1974, what with the market (Long Row Central? Now being pedestrianised up to king street (Speakers Corner), n few of the roads now 1 way or 2 way roads, n the trams running along market street to along smithy row towards the train station
Couple of years ago I went back to Nottingham City after being away for many years and it felt like I'd landed on a different planet!
Gone but not for gotten
Thankyou I was born in nether field in 1958 dunstone street my dad hedley Taylor worked at British sugar corporation in colwick and drove steam and shunting engines and my dad picked me up sometimes at the crossing and made bacon and eggs on his shovel in the engine. I spent hours with my dog buster around colwick ponds lovely memories and many times in the back of Jackie bells pub yard at the end of our street with a packet of crisps and a bottle of popxxse
I was two months away from being born.
ah yes im form Nottingham TO!
I went to the University of Nottingham in 1975 as a student, and spent five years there. Great film here, showing Nottingham as I remember it from student days (although I still visit now, from time to time) ⭐
Ahhh those were the days spot the black man how the tables have turned
everyone is welcome here
I❤️ Nottingham
I was a young lad of 10 when this was made!!!
Thank you 💗 for good memories gone but not forgotten
Nottingham with a proper market Square, unlike the flat boring creation now
Who's interested in Nottingham now, let alone 45 years ago ?!.............London is where it's at.
My London mates used to come up for the club scene Nottingham was better than London in the eighties lots of cool stuff clubs etc close together.. Blinkin good night out in them days.
@@fettlerjohn3419 You're absolutely right FJ, I was born in Birmingham and we would travel the country back in 1960s to frequent the clubs that had the best "All-Nighters" on the weekend (The Mojo in Sheffield, Twisted Wheel in Manchester, Flamingo, Tiles, La Discotheque, Marquee etc. London) and Nottingham was renowned for the Dungeon in Stanford Street and the Beachcomber/Ad Lib/KoolKat in the Lace Market and people would come from all over the country to "Groove" from 11pm Saturday night 'til 6 am Sunday morning. Our ritual was to grab bacon sandwiches at the cafe at Huntington St. bus station before heading home - Happy Days! Danced to all the Stars of the day from Jimi Hendrix to Ike and Tina Turner and whilst my club-going days are long gone (I'm 74) and I no longer live in Nottingham, according to my Granddaughter who does, it's still considered to be a very "Cool" place for it's nightlife and entertainment. Regards Jay.
Let’s not fantasize about things - the Victoria Centre was an ugly poorly planned monstrosity that replaced a lovely central railway station with beautiful architecture.
What British person repeatedly spells ‘centre’ the U.S. way as ‘center’. Jesus.
It was 1976 a few of us would ride from Long Eaton on our sports mopeds park outside the Blackboy go to several other bars and even Tiffanys then ride home at 16 not bothered about drinking just getting out for the music and girls, imagine that now the mopeds would be either nicked or kicked over, glory days we had em
I think you might have your memories a bit mixed, the Black Boy was long gone by 1976, I stood with my best mate Harry one Sunday afternoon in the late 1960s alongside the Council House watching the demolition commence and we were incredulous that such a beautiful building could be sacrificed to make way for what looked like a concrete shoe box (was it BHS?) when it looked to be in really good condition. The City Council would change colour at every election in the '60s and each party would have grandiose schemes for the city which would be scrapped by the incoming party at the next election. I seem to remember that one crackpot scheme involved a flyover the length of Maid Marion Way to make it easier to get to the Motorway which would have involved massive demolition! BTW, I DJ'd at Tiffanies about the time that this was filmed - it was claimed to be the biggest Discotheque in Europe! - also The Penny Farthing and the Palais and several other clubs. You're absolutely right, the nightlife was great back in the '60s/'70s and so were the girls! - I'm sure that they both still are, but for me all the charm has gone, and when I visit Nottingham these days (I live in Leicester now) to see my Daughter and Granddaughter I find it quite depressing - the City, not them LOL. I know we can't stop progress, but as many of the commenters here will attest, the City Planners of days gone by have a lot to answer for. Regards Jay.
@@jaycooper2624 Hi Jay, You may be correct ,the one us guys visited was on Market St, I believe it was a Berni at the time they defiantly had the Black Boy signage outside so it may have been a cast off from the original building, I think the building is now Revolucion de Cuba
I wanted to see buses and traffic lights?
Back when life was easier.
To Noah Bikes.. Yes it's really weird seeing this now, I have such happy memories of Bourne's.. Take care all.. X
Addition to my first comment... As well as buying my beautiful wedding dress from Netherfield, there was a small Jewellers, almost next to Bourne's, can't remember the name sorry, anyway, I had my gorgeous engagement ring from there too, so met my husband at Bourne's, bought my wedding dress from a little shop that was closing down which was quite close to the pub, and had my engagement ring.... All from Netherfield... Thank you for good memories.. Xx
weird seeing it like this compared to now obviously cause I wasn’t born anywhere close to this but still weird
When I lived in Nottingham the city centre was spelt with re not the Yanks way er
