มุมมอง 17K10 ปีที่แล้ว
Shot on stardard 8mm film with a few sound fx added. The first Nottingham Festival. Views of Slab square, Playhouse, castle, The Forest and Wollaton Park in 1970
The year I started work, thank you.
Great atmospheric images of my city. The city centre just doesn’t have as much life and people in it as it used to, such a shame.
That was lovely, thank you.
Really great footage of Nottm in the sixties. There is an antique shop on Drury Hill, called N.E.Iliffe. Does anyone know who this was/is?
It is shown in the video.
The good old days when in 1970 i worked in an office in the lace market
If I could go back in time to that year & come back that would be fun
Evreyone i am not joking this TH-camr is my grandpa
This is unique as far as I know because it's the only moving footage I've ever seen of Drury Hill.
Check out the Movie of DH Lawrence's Sons and Lovers, Drury Hill and Middle Hill feature fleetingly in this....
Brilliant, I was 7 years old without a care in the world, biggest worry I had then was choosing between an Aztec choccy bar or a marathon 😁
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.
Lovely
Happiest days ever litter and white dog poo hot air balloons and fudge in cups come back 70s we miss and love you 😍
I was born here in this year, but sadly Nottingham is now a hell hole
Thank you 💘 for the memory 😊
I'm from Leicester (born '67) but I love looking at old footage of our once great cities. Really cool music as well. Many thanks.
The year I was born. My mum worked in Norwich Union House in the Square for years, I was obsessed as a 7-8 year old, with the fact that the caretaker and his wife lived in a flat on the roof - you can just see it on the film. I was even given a guided tour once. Never dawned on me that the clock opposite would've struck day and night and would've driven them mad😃
Unbelievably, at 3:49 that trolleybus power cable post is still there today minus the arm over the road that carried the cables
50 years ago........ Blimey......
In the days before everyone carried a firearm for protection.
Stop talking rubbish. The problem of gangs shooting at each other in Nottingham, is long gone. It was limited to a few groups. Police put a stop the idiots. Two of the biggest currents issues in Nottingham - the number of homeless people, and the number of people on drugs.

Loved it the sights of Nottingham the evocative music I could almost smell it brilliant
Greatful for these glimpses into our city's past. I enjoyed the music
Thanks for your comment. I absolutely agree.
Thank you for posting this, old films and photographs, are the only time machine we have got, but l am so grateful we have them.
Great video.
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'.
Cleaner? You must be joking. The place was a festering sewer.
@@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.
13 when this was filmed 66 in august how time goes by good days i knew a john smith blond hair scot ?
He's my neighbour
Cool! My hometown, i was two when this was filmed. Drury Hill looks very interesting, did that make way for Broadmarsh Center? Thanks for posting.
Yes it did, sadly. The Bridlesmith Gate entrance to Broadmarsh was practically where Drury Hill started.
The year of my birth
was aged 13 when this was filmed i'll be 65 tomorrow that's 18/5/2017
long before we were swamped.
As far as I am aware, the swamps were filled in, and now roads and building occupy the lands where the swaps were. If you have a different definition of swamped, please let me know.
@@plipogamez3173 - we must still have swamps somewhere - it's where I'd assume the blinkered racists of Nottingham reside.
@@plipogamez3173 oh hark at you me duck I want a cheese cob can ye ger it for me if you don't I'll get it me sen
i was 6 years old when this was filmed
I was an embryo
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.
As you are one of the leading jazz saxophonists in the country that would be very cool. Great little film.
Superb thanks for posting pity about the backing music thats terrible or I would have watch it twice
Should read Drury Hill - not Lane!!
thank you for putting my grandma in this video i appreciate it :) but you are also my grandpa
