Yeovil Cattle Market

Yeovil cattle market was around for a 156 years, but closed its gates in 2008. The site was going to be developed in to "mixed-use scheme of residential housing, sheltered housing and a nursing home" http://www.yeovilvision.co.uk/news/185.htm.

The site is now starting to look in a sorry run down state. It would be good to find some pictures of the Cattle markets in better days.
