So the city hosted cattle fairs, sheep fairs, horse fairs, hiring fairs, vegetable markets, hay markets, fish markets, sock markets, fowl markets, egg and butter markets. When the country people sold their produce, they would often spend money on necessities they could not produce at home such as flour, tea or sugar. If they did not sell, they had to return home, usually by shank’s mare, with whatever they had to sell, whatever the weather.
