Cliff Ton 10,468 Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 One of the best Nottingham videos I've come across. It concentrates on steam trains, but don't let that frighten you off. There's a lot of material showing the area around the railways.....eg sequences at Bulwell Common. The first 3 mins are Nottm city centre - and it's worth watching for that alone.........then 10 mins at Victoria Stn.......then Bulwell, and then in no particular order, Hucknall, Basford, Netherfield/Colwick, Kimberley, Linby, and all points north. Sometimes it gets a bit boring, but you just fast-forward for a few minutes and get back to something interesting. At about 37 mins it returns to Nottingham, including the Castle in the background. Then several minutes at Derby; then back to Bulwell for a while around 55. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,153 Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 Tried to watch the above post CT, but was put off by the annoying generator or machine gun soundtrack. I realise it's probably supposed to be a soundtrack of a cine projector, but so not neccesary. Think I'll watch it and put my background effects on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,161 Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 What a brilliant piece of 'Nostalga' Kev.............I was born and brought up less than 100 yards from where some of it was filmed................can still hear the rattle of Coal trucks that went thru the night and the Whistle of the Engines...recognised many of the places.........Its a wonder i didnt see my Dad and both Granddads who were working all around the places filmed....... Even the drivers and firemen i would have known from my days serving them behind the Bar at the Railway club..in the 60s....which was situated almost under Bulwell Viaduct........ Is it just me that really loves this type of thing..?.....but it makes me sad at the same time.........God bless all the long gone old Railway men....... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I agree the sound effect is really annoying - and too loud. When I watched the whole thing a second time, I muted the video and played music of my choice. 19 hours ago, benjamin1945 said: Even the drivers and firemen i would have known from my days serving them behind the Bar at the Railway club..in the 60s....which was situated almost under Bulwell Viaduct........ The sequence at Bulwell which starts at 12.40 and runs for several minutes is fascinating, even though I didn’t know Bulwell in those days. I recognised the Level Crossing at St albans’ Road at around 13.40, and the Viaduct from various angles, and I believe the Railway Club building is still there today ... this place..... https://maps.app.goo.gl/5PCpx5tRZBTpHWqn6 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
