If you grew up in the 1980s, then chances are you’ll have mixed feelings about the decade.
From the Hillsborough Disaster and The Troubles in Northern Ireland to Live Aid and Band Aid, the ‘80s was a turbulent time for the country.
Despite this, many have fond memories of the decade and all that came with it.
If you’ve lived in Nottingham for the past 40 years or so, you’ll no doubt agree that the city has changed massively over the past four decades.
Some city buildings are unrecognisable, while others have disappeared completely.
Join me as I take a trip down memory lane and recall the things that you could do in Nottingham in the 1980s, but can’t anymore.
