I remember Griffin and Spalding and I'm not a hundred years old what a lovely reminder of our City's past, thank you for sharing this. Sad to imagine how many of those young men caught on film would meet their end in WWI a few years later.
Saw this footage when Dan Cruikshank’s show came out a few years back,and have it on dvd.The tram ride from Station Street,up Lister gate and into the Market Square is amazing.The buildings that have gone is truly staggering,to be replaced by dull,boring modernistic crap is heartbreaking.The building of Broad Marsh centre was a complete waste of money,and sealed Lister gate from the route to Arkwright Street,another iconic street that was full of old shops and was lost.So much history gone.The list of lost streets and buildings that have gone in Nottingham is endless.A lot of it that just didn’t need to go.Drury Hill for example.Nottingham City Council has a lot to answer for😡
It looked more fun in the old video of horse and carts and open top trams. If I had the choice of going back then I think I would stay here in this time to avoid ww1. I worked in Nottingham at the Evening Post when I was 17 yrs old and loved it, I never knew it was built on caves until later I worked in the caves under Bridlesmiths Gate. It's a great city and always will be.
We left 20 years ago but when wego back visit family we still say to people up here that we're going home for a few days. Soon as I see the city on the horizon I feel I'm home too. Not sure however with its 'big city problems' I'd want to move back again though, which makes me feel very sad TBH.

Yes it's criminal how many cities have been hideously developed and lost much of their charm. And when watching these precious old films you're reminded how far we've declined as a civilization for all of our modern technology. In the way people dress this is made particularly obvious with all the women wearing proper feminine clothing and not ugly jeans and trousers like todays mannish females, the men too are all smartly attired. These films just make you weep for everything that's been lost in our mad rush towards '' progress ''.
You should see where we live in Poland (Bydgoszcz), it's staggering, built by the Germans, bits have disappeared but still remains astounding, plus the Polish People in Poland havn't turned British, most look lovely when you see them out shopping etc and i've never seen so many beautiful Women in one place
At 216 you can see a post sticking up I believe it’s kings street junction of king street, there is a tunnel system below these streets and I am convinced that post has been cut off at ground level but is still in place below ground. I noticed it a few years ago and thought it was a bit out of place, but this would make sense.
I was born and brought up in Long Eaton, can remember as a small child being taken into Nottingham city on a Bartons bus and when we were walking through the Old market Square seeing the Trolly Buses (think in my mind they were cream with a green roof) driving around, the tram rails were still down and they were using the tram electric lines all of which a few years later were dug up and the electric lines removed for petrol buses which was sad times to see them go. Funny how its now come full circle and they spent millions re-introducing them along the same routes they ran on before.
Funny to think that back then the Great Central Railway had only opened a few years before, and Victoria station was still pretty 'new'. Sad that it lasted barely 70 years. The GCR was the last major rail line from London to be built, and to open.........and the ONLY one to be got rid of.
They wondered up and down the street the British where more social and less stuck up and reserved then. what happened.? Time changed them and not for the better.
Today places like this have a very dystopian vibe about them, not helped by the soulless buildings and public transport which looks like they came straight out of a futuristic totalitarian film set in the year 2080. The insane amount of surveillance cameras everywhere spying on you adds to that vibe, and we're supposed to believe they are there to stop "terrorism"?, yet there's never any video evidence of these supposed attacks as they never release any footage showing the terrorist in the act of his destruction, all we get is blurry, grainy footage with timestamps missing which couldve been taken at any time and could be anyone. Kids at school have zero privacy because there's cameras watching them. To think we fought two world wars for all this privacy erosion and our freedoms being taken away.
The street furniture you talk about, such as the street lamps, were all taken out / down by the local council, in their infinite wisdom, because they know best.... ERRRR NOT

Lol! I live in the city center and I went out for a walk a few months ago. And I got caught in a stampede of feminist protesters and I got badly injured.
The people haven’t changed, he said. So no immigrants then? No Hindus, no Muslims? I must visit the place. It must be the only place in England that hasn’t become unrecognisable to anyone over 50.
thehoneyeffect. Take a look at the link. That’s my country. But it’s gone now, taken over by some of the most primitive cultures in the world. A country where incestuous marriages are normal, producing huge numbers of children with severe birth defects yet continue because it’s their culture. A country where immigrants don’t integrate or assimilate or identify with this country or the people who created it. Instead they keep up a constant barrage of complaints yet few go back to where they or their parents/grandparents came from. Britain used to be a country where I felt at home. Now I go into the next street and I’m in a foreign land of people who hate the British and never stop complaining about it. And very, very few join Britain’s armed forces even though the lying scum at the BBC doctor film to make it seem like they do. As for fighting in the war. They were mercenaries. They fought on our side because they were paid. A bit like the German Hessians who fought for the British in the American War of Independence. They weren’t much good either. And who in their right minds would want to hand their country over to aliens? No one. ruclips.net/video/5zk0eyKzp1c/видео.html Meanwhile, mass immigration has turned this once nice country into the overcrowded stink-hole dump it has become. The current lockdown makes me very sad. The roads are like I remember them.
people love to romanticise the past, some of the things looked nice, sure, but the entire city air would have been worse than it is now with the amount of gas and coal powered items, its nice that there's more room to walk around back then, but only the very centre looks this nice, huge sections of nottighams were essentially completely crammed slums with little to no amenities, as he said in the video, people walked round on the streets because the buildings were so cramped. There's nice things about the past but I think if someone from the current time had to live there suddenly they'd realise how much they'd romanticised it.
Not a Muslim in site but women dressed like Muslim women back then covered from head to toe respectable outfits not like the slags of today wth big fat asses and tits hanging out
I wish I could go back in time. Life back then was so simple and unpretentious.
Still, with all the disadvantages, I would gladly go back time as well.....

Pity all that class has been replaced by so much Rif raf !! Even the poor looked better than what you see today.
People had respect and just got on with their lives no matter what was thrown at them ,they were stronger mentally and physically
A bit late Eric Towser for my comments but how right you are.
Pinders for gloves...wow

How many of those young boys running across the tram line survived the Somme!
They wondered up and down the street the British where more social and less stuck up and reserved then. what happened.? Time changed them and not for the better.
It seems like life was much more peaceful back then.
That's false.
That's false.
D Stew, Except for the two world wars, I don't think life was that peaceful with all the bombing.
it was just a little bit sexist and racist back then... still is now but not as extreme
D Stew it really wasn’t peaceful
Very nice video
2:16 this was filmed ages before this video here on youtube was originally filmed due to this road here not existing and is just a massive pavement
Wow
still usong trams 100 yeats later, how far we have come.
last week i saw a few trams drinimg about....followed by a bus, go figure.
I live there

have you been reading george's book
Shame it was so short!! I lived there for many years and loved every moment. Pity about the awful narrator too but great to see old Nottingham.
Speaking as a man in a hat with a moustache and a long skirt, I can't really see what has changed.

Yeh that's it, that's why a lot of Britain is so boring, the soul has gone out of these streets, making towns with old buildings look depressing now
It certainly was safer there was no fear of speeding cyclists .more police on the beat and no parking in pedestrian zones.
Lol! I live in the city center and I went out for a walk a few months ago. And I got caught in a stampede of feminist protesters and I got badly injured.
