[QUOTE="flowerpot, post: 7091001, member: 142783"] There was an abattoir next to Worcester Market. As a schoolgirl waiting for my bus I used to see all the "bits" being thrown out into a large bin. The abattoir closed, but the market stayed for several more years, well into 1980s, and then moved to a site nearer the M5 motorway where it remains. There must have been an older site for the cattle market, in the city centre I guess. As for Kidderminster - that was very busy, much more than Worcester at the time and they always used to hand round a hot drink of punch at the Christmas market, it was the start of Christmas. It was knocked down a few years ago and houses built I think. Tenbury - now a Tesco shop. I agree with what everyone said about Banbury - it was huge and then suddenly was gone. [/QUOTE]
