Horncastle former cattle market: a derelict patch of weeds
This is the area once occupied by Horncastle's historic cattle market as portrayed in Dave Hitchborne's (2009) and Tony Atkin's (2006) photos: Image; Image; Image; Image; Image
All that remains now is the small group of sheep pens in photos Image; Image; Image
The Council declared the pens unsafe, and demolished them. It has got its way so far, and it remains to be seen if it will manage to build itself some new offices on this fiercely defended piece of common land.
After all, the Council knows how these things work: first create a weedy eye-sore, then suggest that some offices would be an improvement!

As can be seen, the building stands next door to the Police Station. A poster in the window advertises, "Summer Fayre Here".

Cattle Market, Horncastle
Some of these sturdy looking cattle pens have been subjected to a few hundred kilograms of really solid beef and have been misshapen in the process.

Cagthorpe, Horncastle
Cagthorpe, at the end of which is the former Cagthorpe Secondary Modern School, where my wife attended many years ago. It is now the Youth Centre.
Beyond that is the Town Centre, which is reached by crossing over the A158, that runs over the River Waring.

Cattle Market, Horncastle
There are rusting cattle, sheep and pig pens. I believe the council wanted to build here, but the locals would have none of it. And, to cap it all, the Local Council appear to have lost the nearby Town Hall, which stands closed and boarded up behind me.
Note the weighing scales.
