Nottingham

Spending a few days in Nottingham .

Just passed through a district called Hyson Green
Hyson Green has the largest ethnic minority population in the city.
It is also one if not the most disadvantaged area of the city .
It's run down scruffy and dirty .
It could be anywhere in the world ,well anywhere in the world as long as it's Bangladesh or thereabouts

I expect there are parts of every city that are like this now .
It's just that coming from a very rural area it's quite sobering .
Truly the demography of this country has changed forever  .

Last time I was in Nottingham was about 30 years ago, so I imagine it's changed drastically.

I have never been to Nottingham..
I should imagine that most places where older people grew up would be a disappointment to them now..
Sad times..

I was born in Lancashire and remembered the blackened buildings and was surprised to see them so red when I went back some years ago ( they been sandblasted I suppose.) my parents moved down south to leafy Surrey a place i left at 20 and have never been back
