Selling a crossbody bag in St Albans
St Albans grew beside the Roman city of Verulamium and has an abbey with the longest nave in the country, a twice-weekly market that has run for over a thousand years and a commuter population working in the capital. It is affluent and well preserved.
Commuter households move with jobs in the capital, and the affluence means goods are replaced rather than worn out. Old housing stock brings genuinely old furniture onto the market.
The city centre is compact with narrow historic streets and market days make it busy, so agree a spot on a wider road for anything large. The station is a short walk from the centre.
Market days make the centre genuinely busy. Agree a spot on a wider road away from the market for anything large, and avoid the market hours if you can.
