Learn the history of towns famous cattle market

When a landmark is closed in the name of progress it’s no wonder there are mixed feelings, and that is certainly the case when it comes to Ashford Cattle Market.

Although it continues to flourish today on its new home on the Orbital Park, the site at Elwick Road is the one people remember with great fondness.

Based in the centre of town it became not only a place to trade, but also a meeting place and important part of the community.
