The Shanzelizee of Deurne-South

Rudy Baeyens was born and raised on the Herentalsebaan in Deurne. In this audio guide he takes you to his 'Sjanzelizee' and talks to traders who have continued their business from generation to generation. Take a dive into the colorful past of the lane.

You start at talk shop Den Dorpel and end at 't Mestputteke. You'll discover that the Herentalsebaan in Deurne actually has five names, that most women wear 'soutiens' that don't fit, that the horse-bone butcher makes his own sausage, how to deliver ice cream cake to a family without a freezer, or how to unload window glass on a cobblestone road.

This listening story is a realization of Huis van Eustachius.
