Wow, definitely a hard day's work put in there 👏

When it wasn't a chav infested slum

I was born in this area, on Radnor street, i only have one memory of it as a very small child nothing more.. I cannot even find where Radnor street used to be. Unless anyone has information i'd be greatfull

Ahh Shipstones beer, or shitstones as it was colloquially known. Bartons buses, remember them well.

The carnival queen that year was my mum, Sheila. Totally rocking the Snow White look. There are no words to express the gratitude that I feel for everything she did for me and the selfless sacrifices I now as an adult I've come to fully appreciate. Does anyone know if the pub featured at the beginning still exists?

High Street, not London Rd. 😁

truth of the matter is ,the planners have completely ruined nottingham,

Seeing the famous water clock in the Victoria centre even way back then brings back memories of in the 90s when my grandparents took me into Nottingham for an outing. Who remembers the elizaphone man who always sat outside Debenems . When he past away a few years back all the shops and store staff attended his funeral but i don't think anyone knew who was or his name because he was non verbal and refused to give interviews to press or talk to anyone. Would have been nice to know his story ,maybe one day they might find out and make a film about him. Maybe he just liked to be a mystery who knows.

Wow it mentions my town on the side of that bus.

All this was sacrificed in the name of the car, thankfully although too slowly for my liking they are starting to undo some of the damage. The buildings won’t return but when the poisonous and reckless deafening cars are kept away they will leave behind a communal space in which community can flourish.

This excellent video helps show the quality of work done on the Train Sim World "Peak Forest" route.

Mid 70's?

My mother my grandad and my granny are in this film

The beginning of the end of my city.

That’s the site of Victoria station

Architects councils and town planners have done more damage to our heritage than even our enemies in war, they have stolen our heritage and our memories.

What the Nazis missed to post war Labour Councils finished off.

Nice to see when Nottingham was good .... Dump now. I'm glad I moved.32 years age .. Complete shite

Top country sound float at the end, I was 3 years old and I was sat in the cab with Frank Parrott driving

That was lovely to see, thank you :-) Buxton could do with some revival of events like this.

Thanks for posting, good footage considering how old it is.

Great video. What a difference the years make.

shame on the council. why did they leave these good people to live in such squalor for so long? hopefully this will never happen again, the kids still create their own fun though, much bettter than todays obsession with computers in some way though.

Trevor Robjnson all very true unfortunately,You have only to look at some of the walks round Nottingham films here on You Tube to see the achitectural vandalism that was done to the city mainly in the 60's and 70's The demolition of the Victoria Station, and the construction of what is a concrete and glass eyesore, the concreting over of the Grantham Canal, the destruction of the T Bailey Foreman building, the tearing up of Slab Square and the construction of a nondescript Eurosquare. Incidentally who had all that white marble? The failure to properly oversee alterations to some of our most treasured buildings., the total destruction of Drury Hill which ran from the lacemarket down to Broad Marsh, (with another total eyesore as a replacement}.The Council should all be made to watch these walk round studies of Nottingham's architecture until they have learned not to do any more damage to what is still a beautiful city.

What year was this please ?

The true origin of the Drag Race....

The word “progress” has a Lot in common with the word “ego”.

Nevermind WW2, many decisions taken during the 60's and 70's really screwed us up as a country. We're still paying today, for poor decisions relating to transport infrastructure, and the demolition fine (and perfectly functioning) public buildings, that were made during those two decades. Some of these decisions were more catastrophic than others - like getting rid of the entire GCR, including Nottingham's Victoria station. It may have been a 'duplicate' line, but it was faster than the Midland Mainline which survived. Plus it was built to continental standard - so could have taken future HS2 trains, plus Eurostars, and also TGV's. I'm not sure we've learnt either. Mistakes that were made in the 60's could happen again in future years.

Terrific film!! They certainly worked hard in those days.

Amazing, hard work!

Played in that brook many a time near the bridge and in the old rotten hollowed out tree to the right of the bridge happy days 😁😁👍👍

Ah yes, the Victoria center. An absolute concrete monstrosity. They could easily have left the building alone and built behind and below it. The building could have been converted to any number of uses.

Wow great footage 👍

Fantastic footage, thanks for sharing.

Wonderful video of past family life

St Ann's is like a ghost town now . Most of the problems from the 90s & 2000s have gone I.e gun crime & gangs. It's a travesty they knocked that whole area down in the 60/70s, surely they could of modernised them . But just like other parts of Nottingham that wasn't the way .

Forgotten all about Lord John, I used to get my clothes there and also my haircut! Thanks for the memories

Ahhh shottingham, where to start......

0:34 I walk this street to the church all the time. Amazing.

St Anns before it turned to place full of chavs and crack heads

What a mess the City of Nottingham has become. The planners, the architects and the City Council should hang their heads in shame for what they have done to this historic City. The old slums had to go yes but now it's all concrete blocks. Some beautiful Victorian buildings have been flattened and I bet there were some brown envelopes passed across a few tables as well.

history fffuuccoofff
