Of course the video quality isn't going to be as it by todays stand, however it could of been in black and white for all I care. This is special and awesome to see!
@DjAlanBarratt I've only ever once been questioned by police for taking photos and that was for taking photos of a police station. I feel guilty taking kids photos which is a shame because i've missed some amazing shots over the years because of that.
It was amazing to see the view from Castle Rock and how many chimney stacks were there from the mills and factories. A stark contrast to today as many companies fell by the wayside or moved out as they were subjected to massive city-centre taxes.
remember it well, would have been 10 or 11 at the time, check out the guy in the white oxford bags at 3.24. 3.02 St Barnabas's cathedral, stone black from pollution (as are other buildings)!! Much preferred it then, more character, it's just two shopping centres now. You can see people gathering round the vic centre clock wait for it to chime.
@MrFullup Its derby road and upper parliment street junction .The buildings an office block with name city gate on the front .Used to deliver parcels here years ago
oh but it has to be spoiled by some intelligent twat (saying nottingham is full of niggers, theres no need for racism. im a white woman from nottingham and theres bad in all races and alot of them niggers as you sy are decent hardworking folk so get off your high horse u idiot
i am gobsmacked iv spotted my grandad in this vid around 2min in, hes walking out of victoria center, he died 6 yrs ago so it was so nice seeing him in this vid thankyou for sharing it
Excellent video, people looked really happy and the streets looked really clean and a nice place to be, now it's full of niggers and big issue sellers, I'm gonna invent a time machine,
and i remember, the square, that was grey, with a big grey building with two massive stone lions outside it :) i remember that, because my mum and my aunt used to let us both out the pushchairs to run around a bit and we would play games around the lions :) it wouldve been 76/77 onwards, and even though this is 74, it pretty much would have been exactly the same, how i remember it :) i remember bein frightened of the bus station coz of the tramps :/ and it was always dark in there :)
brilliant!!!! i was born in 75, and my family relocated to hull in 82, and this is how i remember nottingham:) i remember the clock, in viccy centre, and sitting with my mum staring at it, in awe, eating an egg custard in the pushchair lol :D and i dunno wether it was broadmarsh or not, that had those big canary yellow water wheel things :D and the wooden climbing horses, which might have been in victoria ctre, im not sure, but i remember climbing on and in them with my cousin :D
oh, great to see Slab Square as it used to be and as it still should be. I remember the opening of the water clock and everyone standing around when it was due to chime. great vid - great memories
:') I wasn't born in the 1970's. i was born in the 1990's and everything in the city centre still looks the same. And the bell inn ;D I went in there on st paddys day...its a pub now :) was it a pub in that video?
Great stuff! I can remember when the clock was set up. The other early memories of Nottingham that I have are of the mass demolitions and all the ancient caves that were exposed - every house had tunnelled an extension into the living rock
used to frequent yates wine lodge at this time when dublin danny kept the place .we would drink at a small bar on the left hand side downstairs known by locals as connies bar named after the lady who served there renowned for no nonsense.
The main thing that strikes me is how light it is around the time fountain it is now. Victoria centre is so much better since the redesign. Lovely video.
@ManlnCognito 1.30, honestly I prefer blacks to racists like you, this is a video about Nottingham and all your poisoned mind can think of is racism, you a fucking sick man.
@ManlnCognito what about the white one? They would find it easier to get on in society if there was less racism from people like you. Drugs shoudl be legalised. If the guy was white the police would not have executed him anyway.
@ufewl ha ha you stupid little naive middle class pleb.
Why should whites find it easier to get on in society? Anti white racism is acceptable in modern Britain, thanks to people like you. So called positive discrimination is the norm, And the police will always take the side of a non white over a white in a dispute, so what's your point?
“Drugs should be legalised” You have obviously never seen the misery they cause first hand have you prick
@ManlnCognito but how can those drugs cause problems? I mean drugs are banned they are illegal so there are no drug problems are they, so what are you talking about?
See problem with you is you lack intelligence, there are problems with drugs whether they are legal or illegal however the problems are far worse where they are illegal (USA UK Mexico). The places where drugs are tolerated have the least drug problems. (Portugal Holland). Oh and it is anti-poor not anti-white.
@ufewl How can drugs cause problems?...oh let me think about that. Could it be because they cause physical, emotional, physiologic and social problems. Could it be that they create wealth for the unscrupulous and immoral and lazy parasites of society...you dozy cretin...lol
@ManlnCognito You fail to recognise that making drugs illegal makes no difference whatsoever to people getting then, it just means it is accompanies by lots of crime and lost of hard working illegal dealers getting rich. It also glamorises drugs and prevents addicts getting help, the cost ruins their lives. As I said where drugs are legal the problem are much less because there is no profit for dealers. Look at Mexico where enforcement is toughest, it's a hell hole.
@ufewl When you say drugs which type of drugs are you talking about? heroin? cocaine? Which country are those drugs legal in?
I haver a sister who lives in Amsterdam, and she says they get the dregs of Europe going there just because of it weak drug laws and crime is a massive problem over there.
And who is going to manufacture and prophet from these legal drugs?
@ManlnCognito furthermore because it is illegal it results in millions in jail and a fortune is spent on enforcement. It also make drugs more dangerous, as the strength is unpredictable, this kills many people. THe high price encourages pushers.
The bottom line is it does not work, that is undeniable. Also what someone chooses to put into their own body is nobodies business but their own.
@ufewl Have you ever taken drugs? or watched someone you care about fall apart because of drugs?
Whether those drugs are bought legally or illegally they still have to be BOUGHT, paid for. where does the money come from? Who would employ a junkie? whether legal or illegal drug habits would be paid for by crime, or prostitution.
Drugs weaken the character, cloud judgment and harm others apart from the user.
Excellent upload. Nostalgia for a time I haven't even lived.
