The site of the Cattle Market is now the home of the Royal Mail Sorting Office in Wakefield. The market opened on this site in 1765 and was one of the largest in the North of England. Drovers brought their animals many miles to sell them at Wakefield. Before the sales the animals were rested on grassland on the outskirts of the city, near to public houses on Market Street and at Belle Vue called The Graziers. The Cattle Market survived until it was demolished. | |
