People in Nottingham City Centre have spoken out about their favourite memories of growing up in ‘lovely’ Nottingham. There was sadness from some we spoke to who shared their fond memories of much loved stores have closed over the years but still, people had many good things to say about the city.
From the Disney Store to the Victoria Embankment Paddling Pools and old pubs, local residents had many highlights to recount to our reporter. The demise of the landmark Broadmarsh centre was mentioned by some who said the site upon which it once stood will “never be the same again.”
As times have changed, so has Nottingham and shoppers in the city centre would agree. Amanda Sheldon, 38 told Nottinghamshire Live: “ I always used to throw pennies into the fountain in Victoria Centre. I remember throwing in a pound once and my mum made me find it and take it back out!”
