Nottingham City Centre 1996

A drive through Nottingham city centre November 1996

[@user-of9gj7ck1r]

Nottingham will always be in my heart!! Best memories as a young Greek student at NTU from 2000-2004 . Loved it a lot!

[@kieranbray2975]

Turning that corner and not seeing the massive arena staring you in the face feels so so strange!

[@abc-ni9uw]

Arena is a load of shit

[@YoloMenace001]

Ikr

[@fro0tyl0opy87]

They destroyed a wonderful old building for that monstrosity for a cinema! What were they thinking?!

[@alastairknight9654]

Look how big the city was

[@GyitMulhaneski-GloriousYears]

At last! Someone agrees! Was home of the Evening Post am I right? If you mean where Corner house cinema is?

[@malcolmwaddilove1822]

Money money money???

[@1morningsunrise]

wow takes me back to being 13 years old in 1996 hanging about in market square :-)

[@abc-ni9uw]

I was 11 same feeling. Miss the old green noisy diesel buses

[@Declan239]

The roads of the city may be different but the buildings and architecture are shockingly the exact same to the Nottingham I know from when I went In 2011. How cool. Most UK cities have seen a lot of modernisation but this city was already a nice blend so they didn’t really need to add much. What a nice place 🇬🇧💪🙂

[@lisamorris7491]

So much nicer back then 😁 looks cleaner too

[@matthewjames5621]

The film finishes just before he turns left into Forest Road 😂😂😂

[@neilbain8736]

The trams have made a big change to the road layout. Everything has changed, but it's really subtle. There is the more angular car shapes, like the F reg one at one point. The buildings are more or less the same, but the shop signage is different. The street lamps and traffic lights are now all LED or high pressure sodium, but in this video its the orange sodium lights and vacuum bulb traffic lights. It just looks all different, like its modern, but just a bit odd.

[@joecassius1173]

So strange. Trippy. Forgot about that road that ran up alongside the ice stadium. Feel like Marty McFly. Back in time. Thanks for posting.

[@YoloMenace001]

You mean THROUGH the ice arena? Hockley has always been there and still is.

[@shazadahmed6472]

Ah memories ... mid 90s my uni years

[@itchybeard8779]

How the road system has changed hey?! Drive the same route now and you will get multiple fines😢 very trippy music btw!

[@r1ckySV]

Yeah..you can drive past viccy centre no more

[@alastairknight9654]

r1ckySV completely nonsense what they done to it now. Stupid council

[@YoloMenace001]

​@@alastairknight9654 i think the changes have really helped, it allowed public transport to improve.

[@Seb512]

@@YoloMenace001 public transport hasn't improved much - lower parliament street is a nightmare for busses as they are help up at poorly-timed junctions and pedestrians crossing on red etc. They've forced the traffic to the outskirts where the infrastructure cannot cope and this has a negative effect on all modes of transit

[@thehoneyeffect]

Trinity square I almost remember that building before the cornerhouse. I think in many ways notts has devolved since they tore down too many things in the 60s onwards. But in some ways it’s improved in the past 15years

[@YoloMenace001]

Id say the changes in the 2000s while it could be seen as destroying teh old buildings, its really helped out.

[@v1sionary100]

My dad worked at the Evening Post. The apprentices used to be in the Arkwright building across the road in the 1960s/70s, now part of NTU

[@johnparkinson881]

is this the worlds first dashcam

[@Cromper]

No. This is it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/haCZmJh3a96sic0

[@nopretribrapture2318]

Hardly any road rage in them days. nice atmosphere around.NOT anymore.sorry to say

[@brodauk]

I❤️ Nottingham

[@Bobbyman17]

Wondered what building was where the corner house is, thanks for the video

[@MyAjtaylor]

Just about to cross over the infamous Forest Road when the video ended.

[@CooMalou]

This was around the time I moved down south, sounds like this area has changed a lot

[@bigpimp347]

Looks like you were heading on a Boxer mission :) those that understand will know.. but wow back in the day..

[@ak342593]

There was a lot more driving space around trinity Square. Feels so cramped now. I suppose it helps control the traffic flow though

[@leeatty]

Does anyone remember the name of the shop with the two cricket bats on the outside? You catch a quick glimpse of it and he turns around where the old trinity square car park used to be

[@nathanfrancis8140]

Was it lillywhites

[@leeatty]

I thought lillywhites was on climber street where sports direct now is. You might be right though

[@mrmerle9821]

Redmayne and Todd - opposite the old Trinity Square car park, they also had a shop on the corner of Carrington Street and Canal Street. Lillywhites was on Clumber Street, just a bit further up from the old Olympus Sports store.

[@MarkyFormula1]

I don't know what shop it was and had completely forgotten about it until watching this video! I remember seeing it often as a kid when we used to drive past it.

[@Mr_Blootered]

Gunn and Moore?

[@abc-ni9uw]

Towards forest fields

[@DaveM_thetrucker]

Wow some of the roads have changed now, as can not go straight on on from Southwell road, you now have to go right and then left if u r in the buses, or straight on if u r in cars, No longer are cars and general traffic allowed to go straight on over parliament street on to king street queen street. pedestrianised

[@Chris-kz7us]

More innocent times

[@johnross2924]

Really!

[@v1sionary100]

Yes actually I was there

[@pawelnotts]

I moved in in 2006 so Corner House and Ice Arena were already in place. Small road layout changes but other than that it's the same shit hole :D

[@TheAngryyTroll]

3:04 pretty sure that big and tall is still there

[@lollylula6399]

It closed down January 2018 or 2019.

[@tonys6237]

Cause people are shorter these days
