I was in this film with my boyfriend.The young couple sharing wine and having a laugh. He passed away in April 2024. And this is the first time I have see this film. Brings back happy days.
I love these old black and white films, they make even the back streets look beautiful. Ray Gosling was a wonderful documentary maker and his narration was perfect.
My mum was born in the Meadows. We grew up in Arnold then emigrated to Australia. Ironically, a friend who now lives in The Park came out from Australia to work at the University. I came with my ex to visit…and stayed. Been back 7 years.
I lived in the city in the seventies and it was almost the same as in the sixties although the demolition of St Anns was starting and Clifton being built. The ladies clocking off at John Players or was it Raleigh. Big industries back then. Yates bar , the Flying Horse, the newly built Victoria centre and intercom night club. Great city.
Yes Raleigh bicycles .. Left school 1959 first job Raleigh bicycles .. they was making Saturday Night and Sunday Morning ,, Albert Finney .. I would say with school leavers Raleigh . John Player, Boots, Ericcsons , Nottingham Lace ,Soap Works Gerards , Dyers n Bleachers , Textile Industry , Shipstone's Ales , not to mention the Miners Bestwood , Babbington , Cinderhill., would have taken 20/25 thousand School leavers , I left Nottingham in 1968 bound for Australia ..
The late great Ray Gosling, he appeared for many years in the late 1960s/early 1970s on Granada TV programmes in the North West. His unmistakable East Midlands accent set him apart from most of Granada's presenters, who were either from London or sourced locally, such as Tony Wilson, Bob Greaves, Bob Smithies, Patti Colwell and others. I think the only one of that cohort left, now Lucy Meacock has retired after 38 years last month, is Paul Crone. Before her early death from cancer, Patti and later Ray appeared in a number of documetaries on Radio 4, the likes of which now are rarely scheduled.
I was born in Nottingham in the Meadows late 1940s it was a great place to grow up. We had lots of freedom as children lm sure we were poor but it was a good community. Then moved to Broxtowe late 1950s that was a nice area then. I went to Players secondary modern and then worked as a sewing machinest in various places. Always plenty of jobs to get into. Used to go down Locarno at lunchtimes and weekends thats were l met my husband and moved to his home town. But l have some good memories of Nottingham. Great pubs also.
Used to drink in Yates's back in the early 70 s , was hoping i might recognise someone , only recognised the manager standing behind the bar who everyone refered to as Dublin Danny . Back in the day , he definitly didn't suffer fools gladly
Our dad grew up in St Annes. Used to love visiting our grandparents in the old terraced houses with cellars. Every saturday we'd go to watch County one week and Forest the next .Great days, still have a soft spot for the old place.
He actually has a Northampton accent (where he’s from) albeit with some affectations. The old school people there still have that midlands accent but it becomes apparent when you get to north Northamptonshire around Corby.
I was there at that time..Had a Little Job In Victoria Hotel...Nice To See This ..Lived At Robin Hood Chase.. Lots Of Good Folk Looked After me..Went back for a few days holiday 10 years ago..From Donegal Here....The Magic Was Gone...Same Here Lots Of changes...Cheers
Anyone remember the army surplus shop on Arkwright Street, brilliant place. Also the nearby Mushroom bookshop, good for alternative literature, like small GPO-style pamphlets on how to fool the GPO into thinking calls hadn't connected, when they had, to evade billing.
I grew up in Long Eaton, used to go to Nott's regular on a Barton's bus. I remember them both, & the Beehive vegetarian cafe. Scoring dope in Hyson Green, record shopping in HMV in the Broadmarsh, now gone. Drinking Shipstones & Hardy & Hanson was it? Went to Nott's about 6 months ago, it was like a ghost town, loads of empty shops but there was still loads of folk around, it was still busy, but not the same.
Listening to his voice I understand where Lineker acquired his accent. Wonderful stuff. When " Wally" spoke about having to replace 40,000 homes in Nottingham I thought of my city of Glasgow and every other urban location in post war Britain where the " improvements" took place unknowingly ripping apart and destroying communities which had taken centuries to evolve.
I am 89 living in New Zealand most of my life. I remember all the pictures from your video. I went to Radford Blvd School 1946-47-48 and then the next few years working around Nottingham as an apprentice electrician for j and S Farrs. I knew every nook and cranny in the city Nottingham was a happy place in those days . The big bands at the Astoria the Jazz at the assembly rooms at West Bridgeford and the turning dance floor at the Palais Great times BEST OF luck to you and your video John Russell Auckland
I was born 7 years later. It's the weird mythical world of your parents and grandparents only passed down through stories. We studied Alan Sillitoe the Nottingham writer in English at school, the Nottingham of Saturday night, Sunday morning & Uncle Albert, the sad lonely old man ruclips.net/video/z7xsH1gwc6o/видео.html
Sadly it's gone downhill over the last 15 years. Mostly down to the influx of students. Every empty building is soon snatched up to become student accommodation. It's a sad shadow of it's former self.
the concept of having to close a bank account when you move towns and re-open one in the new town (because back then individual branches held your account) is so foreign to us in these global times....
I was thinking about this the other day. In my working lifetime a bank has gone from being a large Victorian building on an urban high street ( and a solid career for life if you were interested) to an app on my fone.
When Nottingham was a city to be proud of. And not the student cesspool it has become today. Where people had respect and manners. And looked out for each other. Born and bred in St Anns until the demolition forced us to move. Brings back lots of memories. I dont look back through rose tinted glasses though, as I know there were problems. Like the race riots in 1958, but on the whole Nottingham was a grand place to live. And what the council did to some of Nottinghams most beautiful buildings, a lot of them Watson Fothergill is unforgivable. And as for the Market Square, an absolute travesty.
eeh,...YATES,s wine bars....takes me back....Manchester city centre, had 3 of them, on one street alone (oldham st)....top, middle and bottom yates...start off on 3 or 5 "blobs" rough aussie wine, hot water, sugar, and lemon...in and out of all 3 yates...then you were ready to start off your night!!!..happy days....nothing down south, could ever compare!!
Remember the Windmill at the back of our garden, and the Shipstones horses taking the big kegs down the main road, how different things are now, I have moved to Gloucester, very different!
Blimey! My folks came to settle in Notts two years before this. My mum worked at Players before she went to train as a nurse. They lived inSt Ann's Bestwood and then Sherwood, where I grew up. I don't live there now, but proud of my Notts and Ghanaian roots.
Who would have thought back then that Nottingham would be the capital of the world for miniatures tabletop wargaming ? 8:47 the pawn shop man had zero Warhammer in his itinerary back then.
I think Ray was born in Northampton, so he was very attached to the area. I think even now, Leicester still has one Tory MP, the only seat the Tories won from Labour on July 4, believe it or not, out of 650. This was as a result of Claudia Webb standing as an independent, splitting the Labour vote and allowing the Tories to win narrowly. Love the Laurence Harvey hair style, BTW, very modern for 1964. I spent many nights in Yates's Wine Lodges in Manchester (they had a few) drinking 'blobs', sherry with a bit of water and sugar thrown in. A very quick way to get pissed, I can confirm. Boots is now owned by a Swiss pharmaceutical conglomerate. The Good Old Days are well and truly over, 60 years on, Nottingham is virtually unrecognisable now, from the number of visits I made during my working career, 1975 to 2023, when I frequently visited the city. Even as a Manc, I still have a fondness for Nottingham.

Brilliant. Wrong on one count, Nottingham was not a Cavalier town though. The Standard was raised to indifference, and the town quickly supported Parliament once Charles had left.
Lovely vid but "Nottingham was a cavalier town in the Civil war" is wrong - Despite Charles raising his standard in Nottingham, only around 300 men answered his call, far less than he had anticipated. Nottingham was actually a Parliamentarian town through and through, despite the majority of the rest of the county being for the King

The wrecking ball has done considerable damage to my home city of Nottingham, but don't let's pretend it was perfect then, crime-free and without its hardships. It was so much better in our day? Perhaps, but then again, perhaps not.
This was in the bad old days, when Nottinghsam did not have diverse vibrant community. How our sesh is fully enriched, can get dem halal certified burgers and chicken wings, with the authentic Turkish barbers. Absolutely love it

We all went to player school as well all seven of us

I lived here Radford I was a kid and we could get the items out for our family but I wasn’t old enough to porn it..
My birth town!
Crazy how my accent isn’t that different from his. Despite being born in the 90s and growing up in Derby.
That East Midlands accent.
Not "crazy" at all - Derby and Nottingham are 25 minutes from each other. It would be be far weirder if you had a totally different accent.

mad how recognisable the shots here are even today.
Ray Gosling was an excellent reporter. He used to report for Granada TV back in the day.
I grew up in Lenton, and went to Lenton Primary; how times of changed!
Brings a tear to the eye. Imagine saying Radford has a community spirit today!
We certainly need it back!
I wasn't even born when this was filmed but I genuinely find it interesting to watch all this old stuff.
I wasn't, but I was startled by how much is familiar.

Ray died in Nottingham in 2013 age 74. A brilliant, journalist, author and Gay rights activist. Seek out his documentaries - they never disappoint.
Treated very shoddily and died in poverty.
I loved all his qualith stuff, not like today's rubbish.
Amazing story
60 yrs ago. I was born a year later in NZ. Love these videos
Brilliant! as a Nottingham lad (Carrington) it was great seeing what was there before I was born in '70. 👏👌🤘✌🖖🤙👍🍻

Thatcher read that the mines had a powerful future and thought "I think not!"
In 2024 no coal mine in Britain would have a future. Oh and the Nottinghamshire miners were the only ones who defied Scargill s lemming approach to industrial relations in 1984.
Labour actually closed down hundreds of mines in the 60s Maybe you should read up on the mining industry.
Labour closed far more 😁
