you’ve seen Allan around about in not him on the rton so the whole purpose was to come and ride this bit cuz this has been open since the last came fully open so I’m going to ride around here and and that will actually probably that will conclude the video at the end because this is what I’m come to look at it’s fantastic it’s great to bump it meet it with Alan fantastic to bump into John nothing in character so here we go been it’s not how long’s it been open this Alan sorry how long’s thisit been open um I think about 6 seven weeks maybe even longer I’m not quite sure it’s s been make for 2 years doesn’t it really it’s part of the uh broad Marsh reconfiguration and Demolition and everything else they’ve done on Broad Marsh which is actually half demolished we still have these little cyclist giveway things which is quite right to pedestrians nothing on the pavement to show Cycles past pedestrian which is unfortunate one of that Nottingham’s semi Art Deco style manufacturing plants can you remember what that was Alan no I can’t no I can’t things have changed so much then we get the modern we get the modern almost brutalist that’s not very old but looks about 90 years old it probably looks older than the factory child public house there or was cool to go into probably home home prob originally just the uh that’s a Mary’s Church up there that’s a Mary’s Church isn’t it yeah lace Market lace Market this is a tram line if you use a tram in Nottingham which swings through to to the college it’s lovely and quiet we’ve been up this bit you’ve been up there before with me under the the CH lines that’s a nice cool chill out Zone skateboarders this is what was the broad Marsh knocking it down has actually opened up views of the cities that PE views of the city that people haven’t seen for a long long time but it was a bit of a debacle when it came to building it because they built this bit and the people that own it operated it went bankrupt into or somebody of the people that were building it the broad Marsh yeah Intel in two or something like that they were building the they gone bankrupt what that’s meant is the city council has got it back bear in mind the city council are bankrupt and they’re under pressure to level it and make it into a public space because that’s what cities have become now cities have become public spaces for socializing they still got not still quite good for it shopping but essentially cities and towns around the world as we all know are just giant public spaces for socializing and what have you why do we have the red lights and the cars can keep going I don’t really know you’re going to watch these lights but we can’t we kind have a ride up and look at the library you know the new library that’s open yeah I’ll tell you here we go we get we’ll move through and I’ll just cracking P here was a shipston pub best beer you can buy apart from home Al Another cracking Pub so this is a convenient place to stop the video so thanks for coming along thanks for listening to Jo great guy go and watch his music see his Tunes put so much effort into Nottingham cycling music art great guy Alan’s here great guy yeah thank you he’s older than me just a bit just a bit catch you on the next one guys thank you you thought you got rid of me this is it Alan was telling me as We R riding along closing the video that started this this green space this is part of where the broad Marsh shopping center was here and here this is a new library which which way you get to the library Alan it’s here just Central Li you lead on and I’ll film and follow yeah we cuz he says look at this beautiful building look at that it’s going to get renovated here’s the Central Library you know what I said about Nottingham changing the whole scene of Nottingham’s change since they’re not this broad Marsh now look at that through there glimpses of Nottingham City absolutely fantastic right we’re going to pop in here and have a look and I’ll try if I can get in and take a photo of the bike statue I will do thank you guys I mean I mean made in Nottingham this for a push bike I’ll just swing you onto this can you read that wow so let’s get in depth we start with at the feet at the crank arms bits of repurposed frame repurposed frame still got some bottom bracket evidence here bottom bracket evidence here had to how time onto the wall he’s got sense I’m going up they all wheel rims oh wow look at the rims rock it on there look for the shoulder bone shoulder joint or Wing joint I guess what do you recking that is Alan looks familiar it’s very difficult to work out really what it is because it’s all part part of one is it it’s one part I I don’t think it’s part of the bike that I don’t think it is it’s two pieces actually I think cuz well it’s joined it’s a little more better isn’t it it’s something like that yeah but I think that’s a lawn mower bed it’s certainly into a rally part is it no Isn’t that cool oh really a love it yeah what’s your’s name Michelle rer it’s hidden out of the way as well so it’s not anywhere going to get because if you don’t know it’s there you don’t know it’s there do you right I
