This film makes my heart ache with longing; we can’t go back except films like this give a glimpse to those old enough to remember Nottingham like this. Thank you for this film. 🙏

@blindpugh12 5 лет назад

I can just about remember the last of the trolley buses; and the beautiful Market Square which later they ruined in the name of 'progress'.

No litter, no graffiti, everyone smartly dressed, no traffic apart from public transport, the wonderful Victoria Station still in use - what's not to like?

What a find! Excellent for research purposes. Not a dated clip. I looked for tell-tale signs. White painted margins on the mudguards of buses and some cars/vans point to c1944-46. Fashions, cars and vans - all of interest. The arrival of two passenger trains was shot at Leicester Central downside (northbound) platform.

3:52 When I was a student many - many years ago, I did gardening work to get a little money in and around the Redcliffe Road and Elm Bank, Mapperley area. I used to work for an elderly Lady who told me that her Father designed the Freeze on the Council House. She was an incredible Lady and I still remember her decades later. I think the Star pattern in the paved area represents the Centre Of Nottingham. I'm Not 100% sure, but I've been told that by many people.

Those are out-takes from a 1946 film, "They Knew Mr Knight". It starred Mervyn Johns and was based on a novel by local authoress Dorothy Whipple.

Can anyone identify the location at 1.15 to 1.35. I've lived in Nottingham all my life and don't recognise that scene at all. I've posted the question on other forums and no-one knows where that street is.

@kenstevens5065 Год назад

Kevin Chamberlain, The first scene looking down is on to the Lace Market, could be from the Council House clock tower over Fletcher Gate. The factory is demolished and is now occupied by an apartment block, No 1 Fletcher Gate. You can see the clock tower of Midland staion middle distance for reference. The second scene may be on a bus route, note the centre road markings. It could be Wilford Grove the Meadows looking north but a lot at the north end was re developed in the early 1970's and the old houses have gone. Hope this helps. Interestingly the platform scene at 5.42 is actually Leicester Central, same line as Nottingham Victoria.

@twittykins 3 года назад

It dates from 1945 to early 1947 at the latest. As another poster has pointed out, markings on car mudguards and the women's clothing seem to indicate this time frame. Also, in 1947, Dior's 'New Look' was launched and none of the women are wearing anything that even remotely resembles that style.

@lesbird2074 4 года назад

The shots taken of trains arriving at the platform are surely Leicester, not Nottingham.

@torfrida6663 4 года назад

Leslie Bird I know my memory is suffering with age, but to me that looks like our old Victoria station before it got kno key down and the faster route to London was abolished.

@neillf8552 3 года назад

Definitely Leicester, Nottingham Victoria was all below ground level

@lesbird2074 3 года назад

@@neillf8552 Absolutely. The exterior shot is Nottingham Victoria (the clock tower is all that remains) but the platform shots are outtakes from a film the name of which escapes me.
