A much cleaner and innocent time. Wish I had been alive to see it then. Especially drury hill, the council should be strung up for what they did to the city in the 60s

Cultural vandalism at it's finest. I'm sure the councilors got a nice fat back hand. This was before my time, I was born in the mid 70s, still, I loved growing up in Nottingham.

@@adriel7540 I was born in the mid 70s as well in Bulwell. Never got to see Black Boy Inn either before it was turned into the monstrosity it is now. I really wouldn't be surprised if the councilors did get a nice 'bonus'.

Cleaner? You must be joking. The place was a festering sewer.

@@gordonbennett5638 Not compared to now it wasn't. Nottingham is filthy now... well not necessarily during the pandemic when town is empty but you know what I mean. Pre-pandemic on Sunday mornings it was vomit everywhere and the chewing gum all over is disgusting. Then there's the collections of litter in doorways where the wind has blown it and the council street cleaner machine can't get (nor the worker can't be arsed to sweep out). Cracked paving slabs, uneven curbs. Terrible now. Town is a shadow of what it was.

I remember the outside of the cathedral being cleaned when I was a child and being amazed that it was built of pale stone and wasn't actually black at all. The city was clearly pretty grubby.

I'm from Leicester (born '67) but I love looking at old footage of our once great cities. Really cool music as well. Many thanks.

This is unique as far as I know because it's the only moving footage I've ever seen of Drury Hill.

Check out the Movie of DH Lawrence's Sons and Lovers, Drury Hill and Middle Hill feature fleetingly in this....

Seems everyone was born in Nottm - me too! I would have been 2 when this was shot. It looks so much nicer here than it does now. I no longer live there but have fond memories. I think the music is good.

Great atmospheric images of my city. The city centre just doesn’t have as much life and people in it as it used to, such a shame.

Great video clip of my birth town, growing up there was quite amazing. As a musician i thought the music here is awful and would have composed a more fitting piece had someone had asked me to do it. Still, lovely lovely clip which made me think of home.

As you are one of the leading jazz saxophonists in the country that would be very cool. Great little film.

Really great footage of Nottm in the sixties. There is an antique shop on Drury Hill, called N.E.Iliffe. Does anyone know who this was/is?

Cool! My hometown, i was two when this was filmed. Drury Hill looks very interesting, did that make way for Broadmarsh Center? Thanks for posting.

Yes it did, sadly. The Bridlesmith Gate entrance to Broadmarsh was practically where Drury Hill started.
