kzread.info/dron/h22WJQzSgWoJT7gGKYf_zQ.html Tim and the Hidden People. Nottingham History. Bulwell History. A smattering of poetry, and things from the 80s. I've no set agenda, I just do what I like :)
I remember being able to touch both sides at one point, I was 6ft 4 at the time, that was late 60s, shame it was knocked down.

Why hasn't anyone done a big screen treatment of these wonderful books yet? Would they make a brilliant movie ? I first read them as a youngster at Bollin Cross school in Style, Cheshire, in the late 7O's. It was originally called Manchester residential school or style special school, then later became Bollin Cross school. I was at the school because I had a very bad stammer and I clearly recall reading these books with a woman speech therapist, who was a lovely lady. I spent a very enjoyable six years at the said school, mostly as a residential pupil. I really enjoyed these books. I'd love to see a Tim And The Hidden People movie or even TV series. What do you all think? I think Daniel Radcliffe would have been great casting as Tim, obviously in his childhood years. 🙂

I had no idea that beautiful building was demonlished to a build a bloody Littlewoods. I remember the Littlewoods. My brother got his first job there on the pick 'n' mix. I remember Trinity square before the latest revamp. We used to catch the buses that go up Mansfield rd and Hucknall rd next to the building adjacent to the car park. I seem to remember that the offices of The Evening Post were around the corner in the same block. I remember there was a stationers on the corner, and a news agent where we waited for the bus.

I don't remember this fire. I lived in Kimbo at the time but there wasn't a direct road to Bulwell so it wasn't somewhere that I ever went or thought about. It could have been on the moon for all I knew. Once the road from Nuthall Island was put in I do remember heading towards Bulwell but still didn't really know the place until I was with my first Husband (to-be) when I was 22.

Stumbled across the trailer for the UK dvd release about 2 days ago. After that I decided to search for it on streaming services (free ad based and subscription), but didn’t find it until i searched youtube. I’m nearly finished the series and it’s good, but I wish it had a larger budget to shoot the entire series in 16mm film. I’ve read before that a lot of British productions decades ago shot the outdoor scenes on 16mm film, and the indoor scenes on video tape. You can definitely tell by how good most of the outdoor scenes look that it was shot on film. The only outdoor scenes that I believe were shot on tape are the Scenes in episode 3 when they sing Christmas carols.

As a Nottingham newby c1992 (a mass work relocation), I can still remember my surprise at how ugly and disorganised the town centre was - a prime example being Maid Marian Way, a people-unfriendly scar cutting through the landscape. The town hasn't really got any better - worse in some ways, even if the economic distress caused by the general closure of Nottinghamshire's pits has gradually lessened. The new tram system is a plus for middle-class commuters from West Bridgford, but the town square redevopment is plain and boring. As newcomers from London and the South East, we talked amongst ourselves of how the town centre seemed full of closed down (or closing down) shops - shoe shops in particular! - and of how unsafe/violent it was on Friday and Saturday nights: the policemen all went round in pairs, and police riot squad-type vans were parked tucked away in streets near the Marketplace "just in case" at nights. The town overall is still a scruffy chav-ridden dump, and far too expensive for what you get. I cheerfully advise friends and family to do their tourist thing elsewhere - say, Lincoln, Newark or Melton Mowbray.
