RIBERA MARKET
Ribera, 22 bis 48005 Bilbao
94 479 06 95
Metro stop: Casco Viejo
Ribera Market, located beside the river estuary in Bilbao, is a reference in terms of shopping for the whole of Biscay. One of its many merits is to have been recognized in 1990 as the most complete municipal food market by the Guinness Book of Records, at that time being the largest in terms of traders and stalls and the biggest covered market as regards space in the whole of Europe, with a surface area of 10,000 square metres. Refurbishment work began en mid-2009 aimed at renewing its structure, stalls and services in order to remain a reference for shoppers in the 21st century. Not in vain, life and business have never stopped in this space where more than 60 merchants manage to provide customers with the finest produce at the best price: meat, fruit, shellfish, cheeses, cooked meats, frozen food, mushrooms and fungi...

Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal in Kinver, South Staffordshire.
It links the River Severn at Stourport in Worcestershire with the Trent and Mersey Canal in Great Haywood.
James Brindley was the chief engineer of the canal, which was part of his "Grand Cross" plan for waterways connecting the major ports at Hull (via the Trent), Liverpool (via the Mersey), Bristol (via the Severn) and London (via the Thames).
The Act of Parliament authorising the canal was passed on 14 May 1766. This created "The Company of Proprietors of the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal Navigation".
The canal was completed in 1771 for a cost that exceeded the authorised capital and opened to trade in 1772. It was a commercial success, with trade from the Staffordshire Potteries southwards to Gloucester and Bristol, and trade from the Black Country northwards to the Potteries via the junction with the Birmingham Canal at Aldersley.
Trade declined when the newer Worcester and Birmingham Canal was opened in 1815, providing a more direct route between Birmingham and Bristol. To remain competitive, the company increased the hours when locks could be used, and by 1830 they were available 24 hours a day.
To resolve the situation, the Birmingham Canal Company and the Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Company jointly promoted an Act of Parliament to authorise a short canal that would have left the Birmingham Canal at a higher level than the junction, crossed the Staffordshire and Worcestershire by an aqueduct, and then dropped down by a series of locks to join the Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal.
Despite the competition, and later competition from the railways, the canal company paid dividends to its shareholders until the end of the 19th century, although profits fell steadily from the 1860s. It remained independent until the Transport Act 1947 nationalised Britain's canals on 1 January 1948. In its latter years, the major trade was in coal from Cannock to a power station at Stourport which closed in 1949.
In 1959 the British Transport Commission planned to close the canal, but it was saved by a volunteer group, the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal Society.

Whilst there is 170 miles between Charing Cross and Exeter, more and more people are selling up and heading to the West Country. The Office of National Statistics reported that, last year, 5470 people left London life for Devon. Torquay, Plymouth and Exeter have all seen a substantial influx of ex-Londoners.
The current average price paid for a house in London is £631,847. This is over £350K more expensive than in Devon
