Cattle market stockton on tees

A view of the Cattle Market on the corner of The Square and Thistle Green, Stockton c The slaughter house was in Tennant Street but animals were taken back street way between were Gas Board Show-room on NORTON RD. They had big walk in freezers. Beneath were pens for preslaughter live cattle. This gave everyone a good view of the animals. I also recollect the line of animals being led across Church Road to some place, which I now realise must have been a slaughterhouse. The animals where taken to the abbatoir on Norton road to be slaughtered and then to the shambles in the high street to be butchered.

Occasionally some beasts would panic on the way, the bullocks could be dangerous and the sheep would scatter, sometimes running into our shop Kings fish shop opposite the abbotoir and having to be chased out with a broom. Working at Head Wrightsons we often saw a stray beast swimming the river onto the Thornaby side after escaping from the cattle market. You are commenting using your WordPress.
