The artist here is not known, but this panel dates to around 1700. It depicts a time when the Cattle Market was located on the Cornhill, handily adjacent to the Butchers' Shambles, where the beasts could be slaughtered and the meat sold. |
Another picture from around 1700 shows the view of the Market Cross, and Cupola House. |
Moyse's Hall contains several Bunbury prints and drawings. This picture of Lotty Long is rather less grotesque than many of Henry Bunbury's caricatures. A street trader, she sold buns, gingerbread and mince pies around Bury. |
This picture by Rose Mead is one of several pictures of Bury's market painted by Rose Mead. |
Rose Mead was a trained artist, but she returned to Bury, after studying in London, to nurse her ailing mother. |
