The cattle market, its location more or less continuous from the days when it was held in front of the Castle gates, stood here until it was closed in 1981 because of changes in legislation. The site was redeveloped in 1988-90 to house a supermarket, car park, and pedestrianised arcade. The first tenant of the supermarket site was the company Budgens, but after they failed to make a success of the site it stood empty for around 5 years until the local Co-op moved in, having closed their own Rainbow superstore on the east of town.
