The year I was born. My mum worked in Norwich Union House in the Square for years, I was obsessed as a 7-8 year old, with the fact that the caretaker and his wife lived in a flat on the roof - you can just see it on the film. I was even given a guided tour once. Never dawned on me that the clock opposite would've struck day and night and would've driven them mad😃

long before we were swamped.

[@plipogamez3173]

As far as I am aware, the swamps were filled in, and now roads and building occupy the lands where the swaps were. If you have a different definition of swamped, please let me know.

@@plipogamez3173 - we must still have swamps somewhere - it's where I'd assume the blinkered racists of Nottingham reside.

Brilliant, I was 7 years old without a care in the world, biggest worry I had then was choosing between an Aztec choccy bar or a marathon 😁

In the days before everyone carried a firearm for protection.

Stop talking rubbish. The problem of gangs shooting at each other in Nottingham, is long gone. It was limited to a few groups. Police put a stop the idiots. Two of the biggest currents issues in Nottingham - the number of homeless people, and the number of people on drugs.
