[QUOTE="gone up the hill, post: 4838782, member: 1048"] End or a era [USER=1769]@Victor[/USER] I can recall as a kid going to Hatherleigh market to buy calves, would easily be 200+ there every week of top quality calves let alone a thriving strong store market for cattle and sheep, sadly F+M was the start of the end for this market, very clear in this part of the country the number of animals has decreased by a massive margin since 2001, one wonders if there will be many livestock farms left if it carry's on at the rate it has been, some call it progress, im not so sure! Intresting pic on google of a Mr Harris opening the new market entrance ( ie the old market entrance ) with all the farmers dressed up in shirts and ties for their weekly visit to the market to trade their wares, any idea what year this was Victor?
