I would like to thank Dave Upton for allowing me to share this footage with the world.

I lived in Chellaston at the time of the film, and remember all those streets so well. Worked at Royce's B Site and Main Works. Trolley buses, I miss those.

Oh my word - complete with a trolleybus in Nightingale Road turning circle by Ford & Westons

I think that the first shot was Osmaston Road, somewhere near Allen St/Cheshire St looking South towards Chellaston. There use to be a terminus here by a paper shop (did a paper round there in the late fifties!) where one of the buses (60 or 66) turned back towards Derby whilst the other went on to Shelton Lock before turning round. Derby was a great place in the Sixties, plenty to do, plenty of work, most pubs had live bands at weekends. Left four years ago!

I moved to Derby in March 1965,got digs in Duffield Rd on the first day on arrival, next day got a job in Take and Pay on Ascot Drive, met met my first girlfriend at work, Stephanie lived in Cheleston, I was only 16 years old, went to work every morning on the trolley bus along London Road, Derby was a fantastic place in those times and I was the happiest boy in the world

Great film, look at them-Thames Trader Tippers, Ford Thames vans, Atlas vans, looked like a Triumph Herald Convertible and many more, it has to be the 1960’s!.

@NallDave 8 лет назад

The metal sign you see in the first few seconds pointed to a wooden foot bridge that you could use to get onto Ascot drive. It went over the railway lines.

nostalgic heaven,its a real pity there isnt more old derbyshire stuff on,thanx for posting.

@MrLWilkes 11 лет назад

That was a treat! I'd be 16 and might have been on my bike along there somewhere, from Alvaston. Those trolley busses were dangerous, being so quiet. I knew a kid who had his foot taken off while waiting with his back turned to one. It was fun when a pole came off the wires, though, the conductor would slide another pole out from inside the bus and have top try and catch it.

@chrismatthews2652 4 года назад

@comedyhunter 4 года назад

Yes its all changed a lot

@comedyhunter 13 лет назад

@retrotees Yes odd being able to see the Mitre pub, looks so peaceful

@MikeFairman 14 лет назад

Thanks for sharing this. It is a superb look into the not so distant past. It is amazing how old all the cars look now :)

@aeduk707 12 лет назад

Thankyou for the memories,damn I am old !!

@josephjoestar3816 3 года назад

You we’re in derby when it was nice !!!

@nigdcfc9874 8 месяцев назад

Very interesting video. The Mitre looked a decent pub back then. Unlike the drug dealers den it became. A lot of folk in Derby were glad it was demolished.

@angelacassidy7956 10 лет назад

Loved the video clip of derby of that era it was nice .

@pedanticvindictivema 12 лет назад

Thanks for posting this, I was about 11 at the time and could have probably been on one of the buses filmed. I used to go into Daves Cafe at the bottom of Cotton Lane with a lot of builders about 8 years or so later, one of the joiners Ron Keelings wife used to work there. Thanks again, brill to see :-)

@ralphbeardmore9738 7 лет назад

Thanks this is a great insight!

I remember the Trolley bus poles and wires being taken down. Some of the poles were used in Shardlow Marina BTW. We lived a little North of here, just off Harvey Road - I remember being able to see the sparks from the trolley buses pantographs from my parent's bedroom window. Does anyone remember a shop in Allenton called Borthwicks? I am starting to think I made it up....

@democraticdig 5 лет назад

It was Bestwicks

@nigdcfc9874 8 месяцев назад

Bestwicks. Still there. I was in Bestwicks two weeks ago getting some tail light bulbs for my wife's car.

Hi Dave, We used to live in the house next to your shop on Ozzy Road. Brilliant memories!! Pete M

@grumpyoldman47 13 лет назад

Look carefully on the right at about 1.25 and there is a trolley bus turning on the turning-circle at the end of Nightingale Road; this still exists, over 40 years after the trolleys ceased to run. What surprised me was how many trolleys are passed heading outwards to Shelton Lock, so does anyone know if the journey was filmed in one go, or is it the record of a number of trips joined together?

@grumpyoldman47 13 лет назад

Not sure about the number, but its opposite the building with the "Mansell" sign if you look at Google maps (its got a taxi parked in it if you look at Street View!)

@comedyhunter 11 лет назад

Yes, I bet there is loads more of this out there in peoples attics rotting away. Andy

@MikeyManchester 11 лет назад

yes near the units, bottom end of Bombardier. I never realised it was a turning circle myself

@colinedwards3959 Месяц назад

Hardly changed

@comedyhunter 13 лет назад

@bholesurfer Cheers, Yes things looked nicer in those days.

@comedyhunter 13 лет назад

@grumpyoldman47 Yes I see it, Is that where today there is a small loop on Osmaston Road, opposite number 548. I did not know that was a turning circle. Yes this film was all done on one day.

@johnlowdon5809 4 года назад

How come people are still getting around ok ? Today they would be calling the Army out and the Country would be at a standstill . we`ve gone bloody soft.

@comedyhunter 13 лет назад

@MrTedwise Yes I think these days people just use it as an excuse for not being able to get to work even though in times past the snow really was bad.

@comedyhunter 11 лет назад

Glad you enjoyed it. Do you have any old footage of Derby?
