Selling a wool jumper in Durham
Durham has a cathedral and castle on a peninsula inside a loop of the Wear that together form a World Heritage Site, and a collegiate university that dominates the city. The miners’ gala each July is one of the largest trade union gatherings in Europe.
The university dominates the city and clears college and student housing at fixed points each year, which is overwhelmingly the main cycle here. Books, desks and bikes move in volume at those moments.
The peninsula is steep, cobbled and largely closed to vehicles, so arrange anything large for outside it. The station is above the city and the walk down is steep.
Durham, in England, has around 48,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. London, Birmingham and Leeds are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Durham
