Cattle Market, Worcester brushed metal plaque

This brushed metal commemorative plaque records: The Cattle Market You are standing in the centre of Worcester's 19th century cattle market. The buying and selling of livestock took place within the city for centuries, until 1838 when a purpose-built market was constructed here on the edge of the town and continued in operation for 160 years. In the middle of the market stood the auctioneers' offices, an octagonal brick building with a clock tower. Recorded plaque organisation: University of Worcester, Worcestershire County Council.

The Cattle Market in Worcester served as a central hub for livestock trading from 1838 until its closure in the late 20th century, reflecting the city's significant role in agricultural commerce during the Industrial Revolution.
