At the beginning of the month (December 2018) I took the train into Birmingham to visit a floating Christmas market – essentially a gathering of trading narrowboats on the canal outside the Arena. The weather was mild but dull and the streets and towpaths were almost deserted. There weren’t many traders either but I had an enjoyable afternoon and this is the video of the trip.

The event was organised by the Roving Canal Traders Association

It's kind of sad that there are so few shoppers in the area. Are they all at the local mall? Has Amazon made going out shopping obsolete?
