Gloucester Livestock Market occupied this site on St Oswald's Road from 1955 until it closed around 2001 and the serious Foot and Mouth Disease outbreak. I used regularly visit this market with my father who was a farmer. I didn't think I had any pictures of it because my father didn't like me walking around with a camera at the market which is a pity now because all of this site has since been redeveloped and is now the St Oswald's Park shopping centre.
