New Street Trading Post

This is Union Street Trading Post’s busier identical twin-​sister, serving one of Birmingham city centre’s more livelier and hectic retail streets.
Pitching up outside Primark and other fashion power houses such as British Home Stores, New Street Trading Post is unafraid to take on the big boys of bargain high street fashions.
All its wares are neatly displayed around all four sides of the store and the staff are only too happy to help get something down for closer inspection. New Street Trading Post moves with the seasons and when I visited earlier in the week it was all summer hats and baseball caps. That’s my holiday abroad sorted and my hubby’s! However, there’s still plenty to buy here for those who fancy a rainy British staycation. Pashmenas and cosier hats are available here all year round!

I walk past this store everyday and wonder ho much stock gets robbed from the side of the stall. Probably not alot as it is all made up of cheap accessories. If you come into the city from the train and it starts to rain you’ll buy an umbrella or a scarf, but other than that i cant see how this place sticks around.
Shop keeper don’t give a damn unless your handing him money, and even then hes laughing because even he knows what your buying is abit rubbish.
i brought a bag from this place once because i was carrying a light head and wanted to put it on my back, thought i got a good price until later when i really looked at the bag to find it had already started ripping?!
Insane, no receipts just because your on wheels? i don’t buy that.

Located on New Street, just outside Specsavers and BHS, this is a great unique little store selling local essentials.
Whether your after scarves, gloves, hats, wedding hats, funky caps, shawls, an accessory for your fancy dress costume, this place has it all!
You can always find that quirky fun product on this market stall, and usually you’ll find it’s swamped with activity on the weekends. Popular with tourists and locals, you’ll be glad you paid a visit.
The items are not that expensive. It’s not Gucci, but just great and convenient. Just a point to remember, it’s located next to and quite near the hot-​dog stand, and sometimes your goods have a smell of barbecue and smoke. (can be an acquired ‘flavour’ for your summer wardrobe).
Great that it’s so near to the transport, all the cash machines and Birmingham’s New st and Moor st train stations.
