Full Description
September 1976. Field Observation.
Visited by E. Rose (NAU).
Cattle Market Road, north side, south end of two buildings marked in outline on (S1). Octagonal brick lodge about 11 feet [10m] high, 7 feet [6m] wide. Chimneypot on north side. Tiled pointed roof with finial. Windows in five sides, door in one. Perhaps the original lodge for the now vanished cattle market. Now ruinous and standing on a demolished site.
Compiled by E. Rose (NAU), 30 September 1976. Information from record card (S2).

January 2001. Field Observation.
Visited by E. Rose (NLA).
The windows are now bricked up (and probably were so in 1976 though not stated above). Land to north now supermarket car park. Building has chimney emerging from one side of roof. 20th-century brick wall attached to one side blocking former gateway. Poor condition.
E. Rose (NLA), 8 January 2001.
Various sources identify this as the tariff booth for the former cattle market, which opened here in 1857.
See for example (S3).
