In the early 1980s, teenage art students Paul Fillingham and Chris Richards travelled around Nottingham City centre with their cameras, notebooks and diaries, habitually capturing a vibrant slice of everyday life that was often naïve, candid and offbeat but which, twenty years later, serves as a record of a time long since passed into memory, as Nottingham enters the new century with cosmopolitan flair and newfound wealth.
This collection of images documents some of the changes which took place from 1980-1989, a time span which saw the closure of many established businesses, the coming and going of youth fashions and trends, massive changes in technology, communications and industry, and the transformation of the young authors from students to working adults.
