So much has changed over the last 80 years that the present Cattle Market bears little resemblance to that of the early 1920`s.
The Old Market at the foot of the Bowling Green Steps was at first composed of a few iron railed stalls, totally uncovered and fully open to the elements. These railed enclosures were later roofed over with galvanised sheeting, then a row of covered pig pens occupied a space in about the centre. Later these were removed to a new and extended positions on the other side of the main road, formerly a part of what was then known as the `Lower Green`.
