Reading the thread on the Avalanche print on the Forum reminded me. I came across this picture when I was trying to find piccys of Lewes Market; as my Grandfather used to work there many moons ago (although mostly in the Auction bit).
Anyone know whether there are any prints around of this?

What a lovely picture, sadly confined to the Tate's dusty vaults.

What a brilliant picture, I remeber the market well and it's great to see a painting of it.

I also remember it well, on the way to and from school. I wonder if the people in the painting are real people from the day, would be nice to put a name to a face.

Actually ignore that I just clicked through and it;s a mind-bending and expensive experience trying to order a print from The Tate.

Lovely painting, but I don't get where the cattle market was, exactly, from the view?

The cattle market was still going when I first moved here. I worked at Pelham House then, but in a temporary building out in the garden, and you could hear the animals celar as anything if you had the windows open.
One day one of my London mates rang me at work and heard the mooing in the background. She refused to believe I worked within earshot of cows and sheep and insisted I was winding her up and had one of those toys that makes cow noises.

So was the market where Gorringe's sheds are now, back of the station?

Yes, or next to them. Alongside the London platform as seen from the station, where there are now houses.

Where Tanners Brook is now, there was a bull ring and everything.
