Very interesting, thank you!

What an interesting video. I learnt a lot there. I may use some of your information as a reference for my own videos in the future. Well done to the two of you. You have a new subscriber. ;-)

Was there a boys' school once in that area?

It’s not nice now lol

Brilliant work guys! Vital for projects like this to bring the community together, and learn about our history at the same time. Love it!

Well done 👏 wish they kept Dury hill

Great video Janine, thank you very much. I just remember Drury Hill, which is sadly missed. I cannot believe how my city almost self destructed its history.

Very interesting history! Hope you manage to restore the steps.

Thanks for making these videos. I am an immigrant who wants to know the history of our city. 😊

Sometimes the algorithm throws a gem your way, and it did this video - obviously not all modernisation of Nottingham was bad, but some of the terrible mistakes make you want to weep. Really great stuff, you have a new subscriber who's looking forward to what you do next!

Ay up me ducks, get yer sens subscribed, don't cost owt so gerrin.

Good stuff..

Very interesting, thank you. Born in 1960 I still have distinct memories of arriving at Broad Marsh by Barton's bus and walking up Drury Hill with the Mother. Even now I can conjure up memories of a very distinct smell as we walked near the 'blood and bandages' scroll of the barber; someone has suggested it might even have been from a tannery. Do you, or anyone else reading this have any knowledge or suggestions pertaining to this pungent smell on the hill?

love it, I learned a lot :) Thanks for the video

Used to love Broad Marsh shopping centre as a kid and youth. It never occurred to me that there was a Narrow Marsh! Too young to care back then 😢 Thanks for this wonderful video.

😊

Well done you volunteers keeping notts history alive, with best wishes from a 75yr old lady from liverpool now living in perth australia. I love social history.

I loved this video and that you are covering the history of Nottingham. I'm not a born local but I do like to learn about the place that I live and it's great that you're making learning so accessible. Thank you so much.

Great little video. Nottingham has so much history! More please!

Really interesting thank you

Fantastic! Thanks

Interesting video, thanks. Ironically, many such "historic" places are themselves built on sites that were of historic interest at the time. At some point in the future, the process will repeat when some of the current infrastructure is demolished and replaced. Unfortunately, unlike York for example, the city of Nottingham hasn't generally put much effort into integrating old and new. At least outside of the city itself, across the county, a lot has been preserved to some extent.

Very interesting and quite tragic how Nottingham planning officers sold off so many beautiful places and buildings, lost forever; all in the name of progress.

My Grandfather told me as a young kid he would walk up Long Stairs from Narrow Marsh where he lived to the city centre cinema on Saturday mornings! Great to see these old Nottingham. My family have live in & around Norrow marsh & Sneinton since late 1800's-early 1900's & still do to this day.

Great Job, Drury Hill reconstruction next for you 🤣

Amazing how do I join and help my great grandad was born on Durry hill

Very interesting, thank you.

So many cities have protected their history. Nottingham seemed/seems to be obsessed with knocking things down to replace them with concrete. It's cheaper than renovation and is quite often a vanity project. A perfect example is the fortune spent on the uncentral city library then the threat of closure for local libraries.

Interesting and informative. Excellent.

Blame the motor car. When the pumps run dry perhaps some character will return to the city.

Thank you!!!

Fantastic!!! I remember that my Mum was furious about Drury Hill, and another place near Trinity Square... I'm too young to remember most of the demolition and rebuilding, but I'm very interested in the history of my home town. Thanks, and good luck! x

Great idea for a channel. Can't wait for the video's to come 👍🏻😄 You're right as well as it should never have been demolished and I agree. Such a shame it can never be brought back to life but alas, it's all long gone now.

Do Short Stairs still exist? maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/swipe/#zoom=19.4&lat=52.9512&lon=-1.1407&layers=117746211&right=BingHyb

Interesting to see you wearing the furry microphone.

architects find it difficult to challenge their clients who may come along with some unbudgeable 'idée fixé', they may have little feeling for the town they design for they may not have time to spend thinking about their designs or they may just not be very clever people. Janine, Why do you think the destroyed snickets aren't reconstructable?

I guess the middle hill tunnel is still there although blocked off/ buried.

ive only been to Nottingham once but still found this fascinating-very interesting

This is great, ladies!

Really interesting information about the Marshes area of Nottingham. Your brilliant commentary really brings the story to life. Cant wait for the next episode. Thank you.

I walk past this area on my way to work. I’ll have to have a snoop around! Great stuff, great research, keep them coming! 🎉

Bravo girls! Great video again!

Exerlent ladies, really interesting.

Many thanks, Janine, for your fascinating film.

You should do a youtube show on opening the bricked up cave and what's inside
