Cattle lined up at the livestock market in Market Square, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England, UK in the early twentieth century. The rich and fertile Vale of Aylesbury was perfect for farming and there was a twice-weekly sheep, pig and cattle market in the central square from 1204 until 1927, when the market relocated. Old buildings such as shops, banks and hotels surrounded the square, many advertising themselves on their awnings. This image is taken from an old glass negative – a vintage Victorian/Edwardian photograph.
