Help us build an archive of the history of Nottingham skateboarding by submitting your old photos, video clips, stories, magazines, ephemera or artefacts to our collection!

We love to see past spots, people & parks from any era and any corner of Nottinghamshire - and history like this is always useful for films we’re making, and a heritage exhibition project we’re gradually working towards. Got photos of Broady Banks? Footage of the Old Market Square? Stories of skating inside Bestwood skatepark or even the Malibu Dogbowl? If you can help tell the story of the Notts skate scene, get in touch!

You can fill out the form below and attach image files up to 10mb - or leave a Dropbox/Wetransfer link in your message for videos or larger images. If there are any issues with files, simply leave a message first, and we’ll get back to you. We have a flatbed negative scanner at our HQ and would be happy to digitise your photos or artefacts!

Check out our Brief history of Nottingham Skateboarding page for inspiration!

Anything submitted remains your property, and will only be used with permission and full credit to contributor/artist.
