Remember when watching live sport was a given? Or when the only concern about a trip to the theatre or a concert was whether the show would be sold out?
Well, while you might not have to think that far back to reminisce about queuing for the terraces or at the box office, if you fancy a proper trip down memory lane when it comes to entertainment, tomorrow’s Nottingham Post has just the thing for you.
‘The Way We Played’ is a 16-page supplement with pictures celebrating sport and leisure across the county. On sale tomorrow, Tuesday, February 2, 2021, it is packed with gems from the Beatles to stand-out Nottinghamshire sporting memories... even sports days.
Everything from former Nottingham Forest legend Viv Anderson in action against Liverpool during the 1978 League Cup Final at Wembley Stadium to iconic skaters Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean showing off their skills in 1983. And from the fab four to dance halls and disco moves.
This week's special edition is the second in a series of six Memory Lane supplements.
Every Tuesday for the next five weeks the nostalgia supplement will showcase some of the thousands of images on our new local history website ‘Memory Lane’.
Future supplements, also jam-packed with local photographs, will focus on working life, local landmarks, buildings and streets, fashion, trends and youth culture and transport including buses, trains, cars and trams.
You can pick up a copy in the usual way but if you can’t get out to pick up a copy or have missed an issue, you can order the Memory Lane collectable supplements from our online shop or by subscribing to Nottingham Post.
