Thanks for the trip down memory lane! i was born and raised in chad, born in the now demolished penguin hotel in woolaton road, and went to school at breadsall hilltop infants, i used to cause many a commotion around chad with my mates, but it was all just kids stuff not like now, i went on a memory trip there with my wife and i was ashamed! roller shutters and scumbags roaming about everywhere nothing like to lovely area i lived in.
@Classicrocker2010 Cheers, Yes things change but you have your memories of how it should be. I think I have three Chadd videos. Subscribe if you like local content.
I stumbled across your clip when I did a search for "cemetery junction" a film Ricky Gervais' will be doing. Even though Im not from there I found this interesting, a lot of cars coming right at you! No wonder Ricky doesnt drive!
I went to school at Meadow Lane Primary, just the other side of Ashworth Avenue. Seeing those houses reminded me of my old neighborhood on Galway Avenue.
Thanks for posting this Andy. It's nearly 25 years since I drove round on the Highfield Lane estates and to see Ashworth Avenue brought back some happy memories. Also let me know what properties are for sale as well :)
This is great stuff! I'm a Chad girl living in New Zealand. This makes me feel like i've just had a trip "home"!
