At 4.40 there is still a shoe shop in the same place, it’s Clarke’s I think. Wonderful to watch. I’m from Nottingham at know every bit of this journey, most of it has gone, demolished in the 1960s for brutalist, concrete monstrosities. I wish I could go back to this time.
Fabulous old film. I remember Nottingham very well and now I wish I'd been alive back in Edwardian times, so long as I'd had a decent job, to be able to sink right back into all this film shows. Notice the haze, probably smog from coal fires, and the blackened buildings but still well worth seeing before the dreadful Broadmarsh shopping centre split the city centre into two. Wonderful bit of nostalgia!
I love watching this always spot something new do you notice the man leaning forward at the start in the tram & the man on the bikes got a pipe could go on, thing that upsets me is they've all gone , no one could be alive now , if anyone makes a time machine send me here would love a walk round nottingham back then
The best piece of early Edwardian film of Nottingham,that I’ve ever seen.I think this was a Mitchell and Kenyon film.Incredible just how much the Broadmarsh area changed,and the Lister gate area buildings that have gone.The smell of horse muck in the air,especially in the Summer, would have been overpowering🤧
Best film on Nottingham I've ever seen -- should be compulsory in schools -- notice how the ladies are taller and prettier and better dressed; didn't spot a single obese person or a single beggar. many policemen on the beat. Just six years after the war and Nottingham looks better than than it does today!
Actually, women were not taller in England when this was filmed. On the contrary, there are countless studies that proved we are taller today. As for fashion, without question, men, women, and children dressed smarter back in Edwardian times compared to today's fast, polyester, disposable, fashion.

Absolutely brilliant film of Nottingham
Incredible to watch this. At 2:47 you can see the Horse and Groom pub. Just think . . . I played drums in the pub in the 1970's in a duo.

Incredible! i could barely recognise the place. (Born 1963)
Interesting to see what used to be before Maid Marian Way was built.
Thanks for sharing. Great watch

I think it's actually that the men are shorter to be honest.

After the war? If your talking WW1 this film is way before 1914.
