And to think that the fresh faced lad on the rostrum in the first photo is now Bagshaws senior partner!

What year would you put that at?

Around 1980? I don't think all the photos are from the same era,though. The picture taken on the sheep may be later and the one with the calf in the sack, a fair bit earlier.

Around 1980?

Way before my time. I see HF stood in the middle of the buyers. I assume he's been operating a few years.

 

[borderterribles]

Yes. I think that is Ian Lawton selling the sheep.

Not exactly forgotten marts. Anyone who has been to Hexham mart in the last 40 ? years will have come across the legendary Roy Coe. Origionally drove cattle wagons for A R ( Dicky ) Scott ( based at the mart) then took on his business. When he sold the haulage business became foreman at the mart.
This week he turned 90, still working at the mart
