One of three panels in the Drury Lane "Food and Drink" group, many people in Braintree will remember the Cattle Markets in Great Square and Fairfield, with stalls for farmers wives to sell fowls, eggs, butter and cheese between the pens. Round the noisy market were the Inns some of which still stand today. Below is a typical "Family Butcher" proudly displaying home killed meat, game and home cooked sausage, ham and pies.
