The cattle market

At the top of Causewayhead once stood the cattle market, that is to say after the reservoir was filled in and the pig market was on the other side of the road. Today they are car parks. The market had a profound impact on the town and shops would close halfway through the day.

Note the Robinson Travel Agents, whan travel agents did everything for you, not just sell you something from a brochure.

I used to love to go to the cattle auctions when I was young. I didn t know what they were saying as they talked so fast, but it was fun!

I seem to remember that it was originally covered over, as the water was being used for the fountain in Morrab Gardens, for a while. I have been trying to discover more about this reservoir with no real headway.
