Noticing how--on the whole--there are far fewer people out, and how much more space roads take up in the 2019 shots. More pedestrian only areas! More interesting variety of build design! More plants and trees!
Such a shame that the majority of old buildings with beautiful architecture in Nottingham were destroyed by the council for no reason other than to replace them with soulless concrete blocks. At least a few of them have survived for the time being.
Happy memories of my times in Nottingham, 64-67, 73-76. What was the name of the hotel in Long Row turned into the Littlewoods store? Was it the Black Boy?
Fine architecture destroyed, to be replaced by grey cubist drab buildings and filled with so many fast food outlets. No wonder we are getting to be a nation of obesity.
Very clever how you did that. Interesting to see how over time, the ornate Victorian architecture of buildings, has been replaced with tasteless unsightly concrete buildings. Such a shame!
Wow, it's quite startling that somewhere such as 'Angel Row' has changed more now since 1981, than between the first picture (Edwardian period?) and 1981. A real eye opener into how drastically the city has changed since the early 80's. Remarkable.
I totally agree with some of the messages on here.To destroy historic buildings in Nottingham for the sake of it,is shameful.Watson Fothergill is Nottingham’s most famous architect,yet they tore down one of his most famous buildings,The Black Boy hotel in 1970,when so many people campaigned to save it.The Victoria train station,Drury hill,The flying horse inn,Arkwright street,destroyed.Then building the terrible Broad Marsh centre,effectively cutting off Lister gate from Arkwright street,and building the equally terrible Maid Marion Way,and destroying the historic almshouses and countless other buildings,shows how bad Nottingham City Council have been,THEN & NOW😡
Thank you Michael some wonderful memories of our home city,some things just did not need changing,Black boy hotel,for what we have now,truly truly shocking.
Same old story. Old historic buildings with character demolished so the proletariat could be turned into obedient stupid zombies. Grew up in Coventry, the same old story again while parts nostalgic Germany and Poland, for example, were restored to their former proud selves.
Hi Michael many thanks for this video. This is my dream home which I viewed back in 2007 unfortunately the funds weren't available at the time. I didn't venture up to the folly so again thankyou for the virtual visit! Regards Alison
Alison Daroy. The Name Nurse. My pleasure Alison, it's a lovely place, we've been several times. Like you my funds won't stretch far enough to buy it,- maybe one day?
