#2.Birmingham's Bullring Market

A journey into Birmingham's historic Bull Ring market which contains one of Britain's largest meat and fish markets. Here, indoor and outdoor stalls routinely offer fresh global produce together with a wide array of fabrics, clothes and household items. The Bull Ring has long been a place where people of all cultures meet. Sadly, this 850 year old market is set to close, like many other markets around the country. In this episode, Corinne and Raj talk to the stallholders about what the market means to them and why its closure matters to all of us.
