Statue of Robinson Mitchell, auctioneer
Robinson Mitchell pioneered the auctioning system which is widely used today, as he realised taking bids from buyers was more efficient than the haggling between individuals which went on before. At Cockermouth in 1865, he set up what is believed to be the first purpose-built livestock auction market in the country. The business he founded moved their livestock operation out of town in 2002 Image Sainsbury's acquired the vacated site and paid for this statue, by sculptor Liz Gwyther, to be erected outside the supermarket Image It has suffered persistent and expensive vandalism - a hand with a pointing finger has been lopped off the right arm, and a gavel prized away from the left. A photo of how the statue used to look can be seen here : http://www.cockermouth.org.uk/history/mitchells.htm

Challoner Street, Cockermouth
A narrow street off main street. The builder must have considered that a wider road would be a waste of land.

Statue of Robinson Mitchell, Cockermouth
The statue of Robinson Mitchell, Cockermouth. He is known for pioneering the modern auction system where bids are taken from buyers by an auctioneer rather than the old system of haggling between individual parties.
His statue stands on the site of the auction market he set up in 1865 which was believed to be the first purpose built livestock market in the country. The business he set up is still in existence and moved to a new out of town site in 2002. Sainsbury's then bought the site to build a supermarket and commissioned Liz Gwyther to make this statue.
The statue has since suffered from vandalism, originally the auctioneer held a gavel in his right hand and had a hand on the end of his left arm.
