mackem 30,076 Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Haswell plough?Used to go there when I was a kid,once saw a guy swap a kestrel for 5 ferrets,great place,loads of off-the-wall characters,its a livestock auction mate,well worth a visit,always seems to draw larger-than-life characters hanging around outside Quote Link to post Share on other sites

codmaster127 64 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 haswell mart is not a game fair , i live within walking distance(long walk), people sell anything from livestock to still saws(hot enough to burn your hands), once bought a terrior there must be 20 yr ago, the lad wanted £20 quid for it so i offered £15, we tossed a coin over it and i won, good dog as well, have not been for a long while now, it used to be on every fortnight not to sure about that now, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jonesy 111 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Haswell is not on anymore,its now on at shotton,just down the road and its on fortnightly,but to be honest its not as good as haswell was,but you pick the odd bargain up now and again and the characters are definately what makes the place interesting.
