It's always a noisy place.

Although there isn't much left of it really, but it was on my list of market streets to visit in London, so I did. Sadly there wasn't a huge amount to record, but it's ticked off my list now.

A short walk through the market, which was quiet. You can just hear a tram going by at the end.

A bus ride at the beginning of the year.

A brief recording from this National Trust property.

I thought I'd begin this year with a sound I recorded in December. It was in the local park which backs on to an old car showroom site. The site is being redeveloped and the large car park is now being pulled down, or at least it was. Now it's gone.

This was the sound of it being pulled down.

I was passing through a local shopping centre and heard this. A bunch of school children singing some kind of Christmas song. So I took a quick recording of it.
