All the images were taken during the last few auctions at the Livestock Market in the town centre of Abergavenny. The market had been a regular meeting point for the local urban and rural cultures for 150 years. It finally closed on 10th December 2013 following the sale of the site to William Morrison Supermarkets PLC by Monmouthshire County Council. 

These five images are from a series of 30 images taken on the last days of the old market and the first day of the new market at Bryngwyn.
