Second Chance

There’s not many charity shops in this part of Birmingham, but Second Chance has more to mark it out as unusual than that. In an era when many charity shops have become, for want of a better word, modernised, Second Chance seems to be stuck in a much earlier decade, possibly sometime in the early eighties. This applies to the look of the place, the products on sale, and the pricing. You get the feeling that Second Chance don’t really price their products by referencing internet sites like Ebay as some seem to. Rather what seems to happen is items are priced via a price it cheap and sell it quick ethos.
Unlike some of the charity shops in other areas such as Moseley where you might see designer products from time to time, the products could best be described as «curios». If your passing and the above appeals then it’s probably worth a look for no other reason than novelty value, and charity shop addicts might want to make a special trip for a dose of genuine character.

Second Chance is a Charity shop or Thrift Store on the Ladypool Rd,
tied into the Church there.
Formerly a butchers the shop still has the railes going around the
ceiling where the meat was hung which now make convenient hangers
for clothings.
If you’re into digging through Charity shops to find those rare
collectors items or iems of vintage clothing, Second Chance might
be one that you’re not so familair with.
I tend to go into Charity shops with three things in mind; clothes,
books and the chance that I find something out of the ordinary that
catches my eye.
In Second Chance I have found some great books and a few decent
items of clothing, but as is ever the way, you never know what
you’re going to find!
If you’re passing the Ladypool Rd or are a commited Charity shopper
intent on routing out that bargain item, Second Chance offers a new
opportunity to find that lucky find!
