Glimpses of Nottingham in 1965, shot on standard 8mm film. Includes slab square, St Peter's, drury Lane, St Mary's, Huntingdom St Bus Stn, St Barnabas, Playhouse, trolley buses and more
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'.
@@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.
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 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.
