Hi Tyneside, I know where the old Newcastle mart was just because I used to arrive at Marlborogh Crecent off the United bus from Carlisle back in the 1950s en route to Blyth as a boy unaccompanied. I then got a trolleybus from Central Station to The Haymarket bus stand then any one of four United services to Blyth. In my livestock days I never visited Preston mart just passed through on my way to the Stanley Abbatoir at Liverpool, yeuk I can still smell it 54 years on. I also travelled along the new Preston M6 motorway from Broughton to Bamber Bridge en route to Banbury with sheep a regular job which took 9 hours each way back then in my then new LAD cabbed Albion Clydesdale. No tachographs then just good old paper log sheets filled in with a pencil the only essential item needed was a rubber !! Doon and back home in a oner.
Cheers, Leyland 600.
