Whitesands with horse and cattle market

This scene was a familiar one on the Whitesands over a very long period. As far back as the eighteenth century there had been a great horse sale in February each year at Candlemas Fair, attended by buyers drawn from a wide area. Most of the buildings seen in the background still stand; note the section of carriages for sale outside Sloan's factory.
