1974 saw the demise of the West Bridgford Urban District Council and its replacement by the Rushcliffe Borough Council. In its closing days, the WBUDC commissioned the West Bridgford Amateur Cine Society to produce a film capturing life in West Bridgford at that time. The film is presented here by kind permission of Mr C B Pilkington. For convenience of viewing, the film has been divided into the segments below.
