Cliff Ton 10,458 Posted September 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 I don't know if it's a sign of age, or I've just become a bit pathetic, but when I first watched it a few days ago, I was looking at it very carefully to see if I was in it (during my days as a youngster, of course) First time I've ever done that, so it's a bit scary to realise that I could now feature in old Nottingham material Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hippo girl 1,995 Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 It wasn't Yesterday? Sh!t ! ..i am very aware that 1974 was 36years ago but to some of us , it feels like yesterday or is that wishful thinking ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
littlebro 234 Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 There sure was a lot of factory chimneys to be seen from Castle Rock. Is Eastcroft the last one standing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,427 Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Glad you liked it Cliff. That was from my first trip back to Nottingham after I emigrated to Canada in 1970. Hard to believe it is now 36 years ago. How I wish I had taken more footage of Nottingham then. I guess you never think of how it will be 36 years later. Most of the rest of the movie is kids /relatives etc. so I did not bother to post that. Could have been anywhere. Haven't been back since 1997. Sure its changed even more since then.

Cliff Ton 10,458 Posted June 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 I just came across this video on Youtube, thought I hadn't seen it before and was going to post a link to it....and then discovered I'd done that nearly 12 years ago. One of the first things I ever did here. Then it was 36 years old; it's now 48 years old. Some of us were still kids in those days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David sheridan 159 Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 Wonderful post @Cliff Ton filmed the year i left school in April, and at that time i would of been a 16 year old lad riding racehorses down the leafy lanes of Hampshire, freezing me nuts off wishing i had an indoor job, and being a little homesick as well !
