They say that if you treat the universe with the respect it deserves, it’ll treat you right back.

Steve Coxon comes from a line of barrow boys and carries on the disappearing tradition of the general dealer with a second-hand shop in Victoria Road, Netherfield. Colin Haynes interviewed him as part of a Heritage Lottery funded project, Stories of Sneinton Market.
