The Sheepmarket Sheepmarket 2015 The Sheepmarket is a place for refreshment today with a number of public houses and other eating places. The Golden Fleece, which served the farmers coming to the November sheep market and the weekly cattle market, is still there. In 1916 Pledger had an iron merchants business in the square, which still trades in West Street. A number of businesses still trade there but it looks very different from a century ago.
