Why oh why did they get rid of Drury Hill. Town planners have a lot to answer for.
now, i could be wrong, but i think one of those fancy houses has quite an interesting history itself. i think its the world service resteraunt now, but back in the day it was used as a fancy prison for one of napoleons generals who was under house arrest. this french guy was very disappointed because no one knew what celery was, and thats how celery was introduced to the uk cuisine.
I’m very jealous that you’ve started this. i wanted to done one similar but have always had too much on. if you ever need help with anything give me a shout. i’m a freelance video maker and history nerd so i’m deffo up for helping out :)
Fact for Doctor Who fans from Nottingham. When The Doctor (David Tennant) took human form as John Smith in one of the episodes, he was from Nottingham and lived on Broadmarsh street. Just thought I'd add this considering the Doctor Who clips haha. Great vid 👍
Oh wow!! I didn't realise that! Thankyou for letting me know. I'm going to rewatch the episode later!
@@Nottsflix Always thought it was a pretty cool thing to hear, especially if you're from Nottingham.
That particular Dr Who episode is my favourite.
Absolutely superb. As a former Dottigub denizen, I was in fits. And thanks for telling it like it is about the BroadMarsh Centre!
Very informative. Broadmarsh Shopping Centre was always a bit grotty and the last ten years its gone to the dogs so hopefully the planned improvements will make a difference, hope so as I'm not planning on moving away.
Top video, very interesting and very well put together. I can see you've put a lot into this. Lovely bit of stuff!
never been to nottingham, but this is a lovely local history video and really well presented, I look forward to the next one! Great work!
Damn how special Nottingham could have been of the history was all preserved! Great video
This is really good chap. Looking forward to the next episode!
Really enjoyed this, nice work!!
I had many fond memories of Nottingham. Love the way you present local history with knowledge and a sense of humour.
Unexpected time lapse beard! 😂 But seriously, great vid!
great video and very informative. ...particularly enjoyed the Doctor Who bits!
superb film well done, possibly the most informative, accurate, humorous and generally all embracing piece of amazing workmanship. Very discerning to focus on the obscenity that is or hopefully was Broadmarsh shopping centre, as maybe alluded to the Broadmarsh Shopping Centre has an alienating hostile aura, always has done for me and the travesty of flattening Drury Hill for this. Quite fitting that it is empty, partially demolished and probably bankrupt. Well done Nottsflix, i've subscribed .. i'm in! Your journalism and humour is 1st class!
Thankyou so much! I've always found Broadmarsh to have a weird aura around it, probably partly why I've ended up making these videos about it. I'm currently working on Part 4!
love it! well done mate x
I've just found you're videos and they are so funny. Very informative in a funny way.
Wonderful!! Thank you.
Excellent video! As a recent Nottingham resident I have been curious about the local history :) also you sound like Shaun of ShaunAndJen so +100 points
Great work, would love to see more from you on Nottingham!
Thankyou for the comment! I have a big list of videos I'm planning to make - the next one is in progress.
Great job, must have taken a lot of work, subscribed 🤓👍
I'm actually on the team that's responsible for doing the renovations to the centre so have had quite a chuckle at this! I'll be staying here for the next 2 years or so little tidbits of information like this are great!
It was originally called the Arndale centre when it was built in the 1970s. And was one of many Arndale shopping centres built across Britain in town and city centres. The one in Luton and the one in Manchester are still called Arndale centres.
Really enjoyed this and I learned a great deal too! Thank you. 😊😊
This is excellent! Informative and very funny.
Excellent info. Thanks
I just watched this series back to front (go figure..?) fascinating mate a very interesting watch, very professionaly made too. Watching episode three first however I did notice your confidence dropping significantly throughout ha ha. Excellent!! Can't wait to see the next one you make about the 'great hole' that Intu have now graciously left us staring in to (or rather 'staring Intu') Geddit'?.....Groan.....
Brilliant video love history
I remember my first impression of Nottingham arriving as a prospective uni student for interview. Out the station, past the black/white taxis, down the steps at the edge of the station, past the rough looking bentink hotel, and all you can see is Broadmarsh bus station and the wall of the centre itself. ACross the pedestrian crossing at canal street (taking care of the buses coming the other way into broadmarsh bus station), past rough looking Carrington st with the adult shop, past the grim looking car park, through the underpass with fitted buskers, up and into the shopping centre. Eventually i made it up to the market square and the centre. As a gateway into to a fine city it left a lot to be desired!
Good old Bromley house library! Haven't been in there in yonks!! Great video, shame about all the nice stuff we lost to broadmarsh
Excellent!
Really good video, very interesting video. Loved the Doctor Who clips. Interestingly there’s a story with David Tennant’s Doctor, where the Doctor inhabits a human persona who talks about his past in Nottingham and mentions the Broad Marsh
Thankyou! I didn't know about the Doctor mentioning Broadmarsh when I was making these videos - if I had I would definitely have fit it in somewhere.
Very informative 👍🏼
Thankyou!
so nostalgic
More!!! More!!!
Gone now !!! Been pulled down
Thanks, I enjoyed the video, especially the humorous comments. It's slick and full of info. Personally, I would like to see you try something more focussed rather than the broad scatter approach employed here. (But then I am an oldie!) Thanks for a fascinating video.
Thanks for your comment! You might enjoy parts 2 and 3 more - they are more focussed and detailed. Eventually I plan to cover things like the Saxons, Vikings, Norman Conquest, and English Civil War in more detail in future videos.
It was daft to sever Carrington Street to build this.
Ok this dam video is brilliant and funny XD
You miss the fact that all ther buildings havre been flooded, and now sit below the street level
Nothing interesting about Enfield House you say? What about the fact that it was named after comedian Harry Enfield's great-grandfather who was a city lawyer. It was his office.
I did not know that!
Absolutely criminal to get rid of Drury Hill and surrounding streets. I wish I could go back in time and tell them the absolute folly of their plans. All that character and history demolished, for absolutely nothing. That area of Nottingham would indeed have the appeal of York or Steep Hill in Lincoln and the tourist pounds that they attract. If this was Germany or Central Europe they would now be rebuilding it and at least partially righting a wrong (Frankfurt has just rebuilt its old town, Warsaw did so after the war etc) but that never happens in this country.
Broadmarsh shopping centre is no more unfortunately :(
An interesting little documentary, but I was a tad put off by your pronunciation of Wollaton as 'Wollerton'. To the majority of Nottinghamians, it has usually been pronounced as 'Woolerton'. If there is proof to the contrary, I'm all ears.
Yep, that's my mistake. Noted for future videos!
Love the videos but at 9-12 'Town Clerks' is pronounced 'Town Clarks' in British, in the same way that 'Derby' is pronounced 'Darby' by British people.
Ah! I didn't know this - thank you for the correction.
Your a Diamond 💎 10/10
In 100 years time, will historians lament the passing of the Broad Marsh Centre? Such things as derelict monasteries, grotty streets and unsightly looking marshes get destroyed by authorities and planners now as they did in the past.
Like like
It’s halve gone now
Yep, looking like I'll have to make a follow up once Broadmarsh's fate has been determined.
I'm trying to distract myself from the pandemic, so 0:30 is disconcerting.
But perhaps, as Broad Marsh was a sanctuary from the plague, Broadmarsh will be a sanctuary from the virus?
Oh dear very long winded, skip the animation and may be could cope with it.
