A fabulous film by a man who genuinely loved the city. It all feels so different now, and I'm sure many us would love to go back in time for just a day and spend it wandering around the Nottingham of 1993. Magical times!

I just stumbled upon this after living here since 2006. It has changed so much even since then but I'm reserving judgement if it's for better or worse. I moved in when I didn't have children, I was younger and free so that definitely has a role to play in my perception of the city. I can definitely agree with loving to go back in time though. Even though I'm not from around here, not even from UK I'd certainly love to spend some time in Nottingham of the 80s and 90s.

Internet started to become more widespread in the late 90s and especially early 00s. I got my first computer with an internet connection in July 2001.

We were only young teenagers (14) and I was a bit nervous, but I need not have worried. There was a DJ playing records in the shop, and I went up to ask the shop assistant "can I have this one playing now" and bam he went straight to it. I think I ended up buying 5 records just from hearing stuff being played in the shop that day, and everyone seemed friendly, and a few of the lads spoke to us, which was great. I went there once a month for the next couple of years, and never had any trouble at all. I went to Selectadisc in the early 90's to buy rave music, and again, it was a great shop, everyone was friendly. I did always have a look in HMV too, near the Broadmarsh, but obviously it didn't have the proper underground tunes in there, just some of the more commercial rave tunes. Happy days ! The only trouble we ever had really (as 14 year olds) was when we went to skin a joint up on the skate park near the Hyson Green flats, and somebody started shooting at us with an air rifle, the twats lol !

22:19 - That was the Wednesday 1st September 1993 edition (Issue number: 35,736) of the Nottingham Evening Post, although it is the midday edition seen being printed here. The version on the British Newspaper Archive is the Evening city edition which has a slightly different front page and slightly different news on it. I love how the page is put together like a jigsaw puzzle and that it has a negative like a photograph does. On the front cover, the frogmen were still hunting for Lee Metcalfe when the midday edition was published, but sadly, the evening edition of that day's paper mentioned that a body had been found in the search. The article about Nottingham Omnibus (remember them?) "parodying" Nottingham City Transport's bus services and were causing a lot of Health and Safety concerns with the public remains the same in both. I for one, had never set foot inside an Omnibus vehicle at the time and I was always loyal to NCT. Dennis McCarthy was my hero as a radio presenter - it was like a local institution had gone forever when he had passed away in January 1996.

"Snottingham" ,yes I was taught that the S was dropped because the Normans had trouble with saying the sn together so it became Nottingham ,this wasn't adopted everywhere though ,which was a great relief to the people of Scunthorpe , lol. lovely old footage and informative , Thanks Nigel .

Over the years i noticed everywhere seems to look the same /motorway toilets / inner cities it is like i can be anywhere apart from historic buildings that tell me i am not in my own town centre do you know what i mean?
@stokes8626 Жыл бұрын
Everywhere used to have it's own uniqueness, towns now have bulldozed historic buildings to make way for three lane ring roads and the same retail parks with the obligatory costa, Halfords, pets R us etc.

21:05 I've lived in Nottingham since I was 2 years old (the family moved up from London in early 1989), and as such I am very familiar with almost all of it, however I had no idea that Aldi was here so long ago. My first recollection of an Aldi is the one in Long Eaton (where we moved to in 1997) .
