The Cattle Sheds, Royal Agricultural Society's Show, Shrewsbury, 1845. Annual show in Shropshire. 'The ground selected for the Show Yard for Stock and Implements combines great natural scenic beauty with convenience, being on the new race-course, which is but ten minutes' walk from the centre of the town. Over twelve acres were occupied by the inclosed yard, which presented the appearance of a compact little town, with one dazzling roof of white canvas. The Implement Yard consisted of eighteen sheds, each 250 feet long, and the Cattle Yard of twenty sheds of the same length...The show of cattle was also both large and varied, some of the best specimens of the respective classes of fat stock being exhibited'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
