Introduced by broadcaster Ray Gosling this film shows Old St Ann’s just prior to the slum clearance programme of the early 1970s. It is an interesting film because it focuses just on the poverty of our Nottingham inner city area. At this time St Ann’s was a large town with 10,000 inhabitants living in Victorian terrace houses. 350 shops lined St Ann’s Well Road with more than 22 public houses, several churches, and community facilities.
