Old Nottingham photos: One photo showing life in Nottingham for each year between 1970 and 1980

The 1970s were a turbulent time in the UK. 

From The Troubles in Northern Ireland to the Winter of Discontent, the whole decade was tarnished by a constant stream of negative news stories. 

But depending on your age, the ‘70s could easily be remembered in a positive light. 

With pop stars including David Bowie, Marc Bolan and Noddy Holder all in their pomp, the ‘70s was a time when music, fashion and politics all blurred together. 

It’s hard to believe the start of the 1970s was nearly five-and-a-half decades ago, particularly if you still have vivid memories of the decade. 

As you may have worked out by now, we at Nottingham World love nothing more than taking a trip down memory lane, which is why this week we’re going back to the ‘70s. 

We’ve picked out one photo for each year in the decade - each one showing life in Nottingham back then. 

So sit back, relax and join us in our time machine as we revisit a time of flares, Slade and feathered haircuts.
