Stranraer Cattle Market
A Memory of Stranraer.
As a boy I spent all my school holidays working in the cattle market at stranraer on a Friday ,Newton Stewart on a Wednesday ,Ayr mart on a Tuesday ,and helped at the furniture sales ,really enjoyed this .my pay was 5 bob a day 2 half crowns 25pence by today's money .i have been trying to find photos of the market but unsuccessful does anyone have pictures of stranraer market and if so could please put them on here .A few years ago I went to the museum and asked the assistant if she had any history of the market and was told no they didn't ,was very surprised at this because the market was a great meeting place for all walks of life on a Friday in stranraer for at least 100 years .It seems such a shame the memory of the cattle market seems be lost in history .gwynfor
