SEEING the black and white photos in The Press of Malton cattle market brought back happy memories (The Press, October 9).
As a child, we lived off Heslington Road and the cattle market was in Kent Street, with the abattoir conveniently across the road.
I loved being taken to see the animals and walking around the pens, looking at the cows, sheep and pigs.
I distinctly remember my dad telling me that they got streaky bacon by feeding the pigs one day and starving them the next.
Do they still do that I wonder?
