Thanks. I enjoy videos of old English towns and this is no exception. Damp and gray skies. Will probably disappear like so many that have been regenerated. I had not heard "Albatross" in many decades. Good choice of music.
Great memories in there, at 4.08 The tyre place used to be a garage called Claringburn and Codd, I started my apprenticeship there back in 1968, it was then run by a family called Would, Roy and Geoff were the mechanics and old Mr Would did the office work, occasionally a Mr Claringburn (original owner ) would call in from time to time for petrol for his motor car, as you look at the picture the upstairs window on the right was the office and the middle and left widows were the stores room, thanks for the memories Paul
Hi Roger Glad you enjoyed the video My friend Derek used to live over the butchers and I remember the area well on the corner to the left. There used to be a shop run by an old lady and her son. We used to hear her playing the piano and him singing at night when we were kids we would knock on the door and run away. There was also a Chinese chip shop and Den’s groceries Regards Paul
@@paulclay1900 I remember Deny's shop very well, he used to bring his cars to the garage for service and repairs, he had a mini countryman, an MGB GT and Jaguar, the butchers name was Tom Ike (sp), can you remember the house that was at the side of the garage but the living quarters were round the back of the properties,and the wool shop a couple of doors away, some great memories coming back now
@@rogerchaplin9781 My mother is still alive I’ll see her tomorrow & see she remembers Dennis Staniforth was the guy with the shop. He used to work with my dad some years before that. Saw him in town a few years ago I presume he’s not with us anymore I loved Snainton as a youngster in the 50s and 60s, but I wouldn’t like to be there now
I went to school with a lad that lived over the butchers. His name was Derek Flecher. We knocked around in the mid 60s after leaving school. We be there on our scooters going into town. Absolute great time to be a teenager Sneinton now it’s so crowded with cars and people, it’s just not the same.
Oh my mile run looks nothing like I remember where are the monkey trees and the shelter next to bowl centre used to meet the boys so sad but still got good memories
I drive through Sneinton almost daily and it has changed a lot. The only good part is Colwick Woods. Sneinton in the 70s and 80s didn't look bad and hardly any litter but now I do see quite a bit of litter which is really sad. Colwick Road used to be thriving back in the 70s and 80s but now it looks so dead and shops boarded up. The only thing that Sneinton has is The Dale and that looks even more run down than ever before
Well done, i had to laugh otherwise i would of cried, Sneinton has a lot of quirky architecture and character but seems to be crying out for the past which is where I want to be, even 20 years ago many of those pubs were open, though it was an edgy place back then and too many murders which detracts from the lure of wanting to go anywhere near the place anymore ... though i do try to pop into 'the lamp' now the New Castle ... if you ask Judith nicely she will let you explore the cellar and caves
@@paulclay1900 I think it would of been an amazing place back then, thriving, the amount of pubs and local shops and businesses and most of all characters, i'm not saying there weren't problems and poverty was real back then as no double glazing or central heating, washing machines, dryers which made life very very hard. But despite all these life transforming upgrades the characters, community and fascination is gone and we are left with a sort of wilderness of alienation but i'm sure you have some amazing memories. Also Sneinton hasn't suffered as much as the Meadows or St Annes from the brutalist builders. Actually for architectural character Sneinton has almost survived despite some gross construction. I think the 'slum clearances' were a scam, they really just needed the damp course, double glazing and central heating. Anyway i don't have a clue, looking at the video stirs up mixed emotions, a blend of despair and hope.
This brought back so many memories. I was born at 82 Kentwood Road in 1949 and left the UK in 1976. Thanks so much for this. R.

Good One Mate, enjoyed this 😎
You didn’t by any chance see a triumph herald ( classic car ) down the road where the Sneinton school is ? It’s my dads
I love that car, I often used to walk by and admire it when I lived nearby.

Hi, when I was a kid in the 50s, it was just an ordinary working class area now it’s Nottingham‘s worst car park

Lived on Westwood for a few years. Tough place but a good place
hi does anyone know why parts are called sneinton elements
It got the name around 1900 because it was built up on a hill and open to the weather, or the elements
Why 6 mins🤪?. Next time 10 Broo. Blesss 💥
Hi poul did you deliver papers at the newagents on handle st
Hi sorry no but I did for white’s on Trent lane early 60s
Sneinton dale isnt the same anymore
Born and bread ther
well i must say that comment about the alleyway was very crude and not needed
That's what it was called if you were from Sneinton
Seems quiet, guess it must be before midday. 🥱
