Sperling and Henson (excuse spelling) sold fat cattle and bulls were penned in slips, next to them was a pig market, and opposite a fat pig market, with a large horse market at the bottom of the road. Robert Bonds sold dairy cows and calves , and the council had large open area for sheep and cattle, and two sale rings for store and fat cattle. Forty years later I set up Auction Market Design services and was involved in more than fifty markets here and abroad
