An extract from video I shot in December 1985, just before Christmas of that year. The video shows the city centre at that time including shots of Market Square, the Council House as well as the castle and both the Victoria and Broadmarsh Shopping Centres.
Also see my video of roughly the same locations but in 1972 and 1986.

Thankyou to whoever took this film and posted it - I was astonished to suddenly see myself as a 28 year old striding across the screen at around 2.47 - completely by chance. I may be being nostalgic, but the city at xmas seemed so much more atmospheric back then. Cheers for the lovely memories

Born in Nottingham in the mid 70s so all this has brought back some great childhood memories. The Leyland buses, food court, even Broad Marsh used to be busy. And the council used to spend money on proper xmas decorations! How times have changed. A great decade to be a kid.

I was born and raised in Nottingham at the same time. I agree, it was a great place to be a kid. I recall fantastic Christmas decorations vividly, it made for a great atmosphere and I have such fond memories. I almost dare not go back, this video is how I remember Nottingham. The council let my old church crumble to the ground since I emigrated, I can't imagine what they've done to the rest of the place...

Thank you for posting this, what a trip down memory lane... I grew up in Nottingham, Colwick specifically, but spent nearly every weekend in the city center. I emigrated to Canada when I was 18 in 1990 and this footage shows home as I last remember it. I haven't been back to visit since so this footage feels like it was just yesterday to me. As teenagers we'd always walk back and forth between Vicky centre and Broadmarsh, stopping at the square on the way. The square had 4 fountain pools back in my day. The shops are all of the shops that I remember vividly, it's like walking back in time. I had a fantastic childhood living in Nottingham, this tugs at the heartstrings, thanks for sharing.

I can remember Nottingham City centre well. I was only about eight years old at the time, living in Bulwell. Me and my mates used to catch the bus (81?) into the city centre and hang around the castle. I also remember Old Market Square with the fountains, Odeon Cinema. I remember going around Victoria Centre and Broadmarsh Shopping centre with my mum. We could never afford to go to Mcdonalds or Wimpy at the time or buy anything from the nice shops, we were living on the breadline and very poor. Despite that, there was some good memories and I worked my way out of the poverty trap we were in.

I even said to my wife as you hit the top of the Broadmarsh escalator Tandy on the right and then it panned round and there it was. I'd forgotten Dixons where The Works is and, oh so many, other things that caught the eye. The food court. Proper traffic in OMS. As an ex-pat (Seattle) nottingham boy this brought a tear to the eye.

Thanks for this. Glad you included the Broadmarsh Centre in this. I remember running back through it from the Vicky Centre to get the number 6 Barton bus to Keyworth. How times have changed and a lot of the shops no longer in business. They seem to pop up here in Spain though. We have a C&A here now. Just down the way from the Marks & Sparks in the video, I remember the Xylophone Man playing outside the C&A in the 80s/90s. I recently visited the Vicky Centre and was horrified to see they'd painted that novelty clock white and changed the tune. Can anyone else remember it playing a different tune in the style of a harpsichord?

This is the month I was born! Doesn't look THAT much different to today, really. There was more traffic on city centre streets then such as Parliament Street before restrictions were put in place. Seems strange to see Broadmarsh thriving. Nottingham was a real retail force and punched well above its weight. Even as late as the 2000s it was ranked as high as 3rd in the UK retail rankings, behind only London and Glasgow. Then sadly, the city centre stagnated while other major cities powered on. It's still very respectable for shopping, but doesn't quite have the offer it used to in relative terms.

The city council have turned Nottingham into a dump. Upper Parliament Street is basically an open air bus station. Trinity Square has no character. Some of the building development should never been allowed planning permission approval. Its now a student city with fast food everywhere. There is hardly any visible signs of police these days. The scum of the county seem converge to the market place in the summer when the council decide to turn the market place into a seaside resort. Its pathetic. Local government have destroyed Nottingham in the last forty years!

Sadly, the local council were slowly turning Nottingham into a dump from the 60's onwards. Maid marian way cut the city centre in half destroying lots of old buildings, destruction of narrow marsh and drury hill, demolition of the Black boy inn (which would have been a listed building now). Oh yes, the council have made a pigs arse out of nottingham in the name of progress and I'd wager more than a few backhanders....no one will be able to prove the latter though.

Spent one semester as an exchange student (well, maybe I'm part of the "student city" problem :) in Nottingham and I dig the old footage. But boy, coming from the former Eastern block I thought commies had a monopoly on concrete eyesores, however it seems even good old Blighty had to go through a period of unprecedent barbarism in the 60's and 70's. It's as if Satan himself shat grey monstrosities like Victoria Centre or Hotel Britannia from the sky, right in the middle of what used to be a beautiful city, laying waste to priceless pieces of heritage in the name of...well, I don't even know of what. Money? Functionalism? Progress? May all the commie city planners, shameless developers, corrupt officials and beauty defilers everywhere rot in the deepest recesses of hell, which should be, for good measures, concreted over - same thing they did to all of our cities in Europe, sometimes more, sometimes less. Still, Nottingham was a great place, architectural atrocities aside. I'll harbour fond memories of it till the day I die - such great people the English, Nottingham folk especially! Sorry for the rant everyone, have a great day wherever you may be! Greetings from the Czech Republic.

I think you used to be on Leicester Sound unless I am mistaken. I listened to it from 1988 to 1991 and then 1992-1993 when I returned after a year away. I cannot remember when the station changed its name to Sound FM unless I have got both the wrong way around and/ or hopelessly wrong. It was a great station punching above its weight. Granville House was a lovely building. I remember David Lloyd and it is great to see how well he has done in the radio industry since. His website and the care taken to curate radio history is first class. I also used to listen to Kenny Hague, Guy Morris and Mark Hayman. I think he went on to work for BBC Radio Leicester and then made the switch to television. Not forgetting the inestimable Franklyn Hughes who did a shared programme with Trent at night. Good days and a great city which I owe a lot.

As soon as the victoria centre was opened, the council put those jaundiced yellow lines each side of mansfeild road to generate parking fines, all the shops were screwed good and proper, if i go to the music shop i have to pay to park, if i go to the music shop on alfreton road....its free, we have become victims of an organisation thats supposed serve and look after us, all they care about is their bloody massive pensions and salaries.

8:33 Green neon sign. "PizzaLand". Whatever happened to PizzaLand? I remember around this time there was always a young woman doing amazing pavement art in the pedestrian area leading up to the Broad Marsh Centre, even when it was freezing cold. I always worried about her poor joints in old age.

0:31 this still image perfectly encapsulates British town planning and architecture. A beautiful Medieval building (which will be used in all the promotional bumph to celebrate the city) and then vile 1960's prefab asbestos ridden monstrosities next door. Only we British spit on our heritage like this. that house on the left is older than the United States ffs.

Ahhh so it was after 1985 that the giant penis statue was put in St Peter's Square. I miss the lincoln green and cream livery of the buses (dont like the circus colours they paint them in now) I also miss the Christmas decorations on the bridge from Vic Centre. You never know, maybe I was in town when this was recorded! Thanks for uploading.
