Before the days of air-con and smart-fans, Hucknall and Bulwell residents had their own ways of beating the heat – from enjoying the open-air cinema in Hucknall Market Place to having a splash at the water park in Bulwell Bogs, nothing could keep us indoors.
Grab a 99 with a flake and join us for a nostalgic trip back to the days when the sun shone brighter and the only thing hotter than the weather was the queue at the ice cream van.
