This whole video is depressing and so are the comments.
trip down memory lane for me I helped demolish the old John player factory in about 86 25 pound a day cash in hand I remember one of the clocking in clocks coming away from the wall cast iron a forest green colour it was massive there was even a few clocking in cards still in the gaps/slits wow 34 years how time flies ha ha
Nottingham has improved so much since then. Look how grey and depressing it was.
In the first pan the last full house on the left you see in the foreground is my mums and dads house. My Sister brought it and still lives there. 😀
A lovely place to bring up your food.
Haha brilliant comment!!
This IS England!
0:50 is that ansley estate in beechdale or somewhere else
The worst thing that happened afterwards, was globalization, more companies fled to china, leaving back a chaos.
Yes...all of notts industry gone!
Went through Radford what an eye opener I thought I was in a different country
Only a coloniser would say that
Good. The world doesn't revolve around you
It's a different place there,I'm allowed to say what I think and feel ,I never said about it revolving round me
The irony in your comment is off the charts LOL
I lived in Deman Garden flats in the 70's
Someone smacked Alan when he ventured into the Marquis on Salisbury Street on one occasion, because they recognised a relative hidden as a fiction in one of his stories. I have a letter from Alan somewhere in my archives. It's worth mentioning I'm transplanting my own writings into a sort of medieval strong-room above my art-gallery [see Dolcedo Art of the Thunderbolt Ground-floor & Mezzanine on UA-cam = 2 shorts = a virtual tour + at some stage there'll be a film on my artworks, murals, drawings & those of my wife, Suzie, a St Martin's Fine Art graduate]. My writings are voluminous by any standards - maths, logic, philosophy, linguistic foundations, psychology, art, travels in Laos, Vietnam, New Guinea, Egypt etc - as I always studied & wrote even as a bum [influenced by Jack London's People of the Abyss, which I carried in my pack in crossing Turkey, Iran, and so on]. I hitchhiked to Vietnam but was refused entry by the CIA & had adventures few would believe possible. Every day my book grows & is probably larger than Proust's magnificent novel - it's certainly the largest illustrated book since Leonardo. You guys need to know I was outed as the highest IQ ever in HM Armed Forces & I've written a vast study on genius that I doubt has ever been equalled - a deific script - with prose formulae unique in literary history & this out of a poverty-stricken shit-sty from hell. Don't forget to watch the film The Lost Genius by BBC editor-director, Angelica Landry, now on UA-cam in 3 parts. I went to ground 60 years ago, and now I'm out in the clearing, with a book 2 guys quite possibly couldn't lift. There cannot have been many self-taught kids sitting in Radford, circa 1960, copying out Goedel's Theorem in its entirety, in an attempt to upgrade his 'arithmetization' & receiving 10 professorial testimonials, mostly Oxbridge mathematicians, and winning a scholarship.
what?
What Alan are you referring to. And what was the story
I think he's referring to Alan Sillitoe, he was born somewhere near Salisbury St I believe@@anthonywright6237
Flats at the beginning are Connaught and denman gardens. Absolute shit hole
shite hole in the 70's , even worse now, why is that?
now radford is one of the most dangerous places in notts.
tax man it was always edgy that was part of its appeal
Is it fuck! Bulwells more dangerous 😂
@@guyrosin19 stans
None of Nottingham inner city areas are bad as they used to be! No where near!
@@r1ckySV to be fair.... From the 60's till present day I've never had any hassle in any of the so called wrong areas... In daylight or walking through in the dead of the night after a session
Im sure its nice quaint little British town now...right?
not quiet as you may get by my slightly level comment .i grew up there in 60,s and you dont know what a shit hole is unless you have lived different . street wise made them that survived and humbled when you live grander
Where’s the mosque?
All over. Take your pick.
@@georgeorwell2994 correct but not with the gold domes ..in old pubs and factory buildings ..but i see no reason to place any ills on those people as ive always found them amicable..
@@honda4004 I interact with them daily and on a one to one and while they're the minority they are.
Try being an 11 year old white, Sikh or orphan girl and you'll see a huge change. I could say more.
Where the Wrights born and bred Radford... my great grandmother had 8 sons and 6 daughters.. she was a tiny woman bless her... my grandad sheared a bed with 4 brothers until 19 years of age.. his dad was a chimney sweep. He told me a story once about getting into a fight at school... the head master summoned his dad to come lol..... he was asked what happened.. he said it wasn't his fault... head master said put your hand out.... he did when he went to hit him he moved his hand... and did it again.. so he struck him across the face... infront of his dad... and for good measure great grandad pasted him aswell for making him go to school!!!!!!!
I was driving my car into Radford a few days ago and I was the only white guy there. Wtf happened?
I saw you, there were two of us.
The poor white people got pushed to nicer areas and the next lot of "undesirables" take its place. And it goes on and on. Just like what you see had happened in brookyln and or east/north London.
Nobodys fault apart from the people in charge
@@ACertainWay Radford was diverse since at least the 1960's. It wasn't rough. It's full of students since 2000. It's a dump 'cos students don't care about the upkeep.
@@thomasharrison7392 Romanians, Turks and Somalis too.
@thomasharrison7392 totally agree. 😢
God that's bleak to look at.
one of many dumps in nottingham
not quiet a shit hole'slum as you may get by my slightly level comment .i grew up there in 60,s and you dont know what a shit hole is unless you have lived different . street wise made them that survived and humbled when you live grander
