Rows of wooden pens line the open floor of this iron-framed covered market hall, a design that suited the livestock trade of the late 1800s. Cattle and sheep were penned in lanes under a roof of iron trusses that kept sun and rain off buyers and animals alike, while the open sides let air move through. Markets like this were the working heart of many farm towns, where dealers, drovers and local farmers met to trade stock. Look at the regular spacing of the pens and the sturdy ironwork overhead, which reflect how much organization a busy sale day demanded.
