Dolgellau market
I have quite a few pictures of Banbury cattle market, as used to work there and took lots of photos on the last day was open for trading , can share them if you likeThe second picture is the old market place and the other two are the third incarbnation.
I well remember Banbury market having been a regular most Wednesdays for ten years with barren cows. I should know the three on the rostrum as they sold my herd in 1986 sadly memory is failing.
