taxi ray 170 Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 My mother in law has been given a copy of some cine film taken in the early 70s, I think it shows Basford wakes. There is also a bit of a street party on Austin street for the queens jubilee in 1977.There is also some footage of the queens cavalcade in 1977. It is on dvd now. When I played it at the mother in laws it was in black and white, but when I played it on my computer it was in colour. There is also footage of Wollaton park , the castle and the council house. The quality is not that good. I have no idea about putting it on the site, but if someone is interested I could deliver the dvd. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

taxi ray 170 Posted November 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 I find youtube hard work, I put some footage of my grandson boxing the clip was 3 x 3 minute rounds, it seemed to take forever. I am also unsure about what format the dvd is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
taxi ray 170 Posted November 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 I have put a short clip on youtube nearly 6 minutes long. There is some footage of old buses, possibly in Bulwell. https://youtu.be/cHfbZFzMkBs?t=1s 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,458 Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 It's old, it's colour, it's Nottingham in the past, and it moves. I agree the buses are in Bulwell because at about 0:33 the camera pans round to show the old GC railway viaduct over the road to Hucknall. And I think all the fairground material seems to be Goose Fair - a bit too big to be Basford Wakes ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
