00:00The shutters came down overnight without warning, without fanfare.
00:04For Decay's Prairie Square and the Oasis Market offered an alternative to the corporate high street.
00:10Independent traders, vintage fashion, record stalls, tattoo parlours.

01:33Independent culture is being priced out.
01:36Local voices sidelined.
01:38Progress, it seems, comes at a cost.
01:40And this time it's a piece of Birmingham that's been quietly erased.
01:44It seems, like you and I understand, what the first deserts you create here has two eternities,
01:46a verse back.
