| About
the book
In the early 1980s, two 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 intriguing collection of over
200 images documents some of the major changes which took
place in Nottingham between 1980 and 1989, an important
era 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.
 Drawing
largely upon previously unpublished material, this striking
selection of images, the majority of which have been buried
in box-files and attics since the 1980s, offers the opportunity
to reflect upon an era which resides in our recent past,
and which is yet far enough removed from present-day Nottingham
to offer a valuable pictorial history that will doubt- less
provide much interest.
