Used to go with my cousin to the sheep’s sales when I lived in Malton in the 70’s. Those characters and that way of life now long gone, as is the show ground with the old grandstands! Very nostalgic and lovely to see again. Thanks for posting.
I think the year is 1977. A few more names to add - 3.05 Joe Wildsmith from Fadmoor in blue tie (also again at 7.48); 5.28 Ian Screeton auctioneer's clerk; 6.51Ian Metcalfe from Helmsley on right at back; 7.36 Keith Ward (Cundall's shepherd) with beard larking about; 9.23 Mike Harrison clerking for John Cundall; 10.06 in grey jacket is possibly a Southwell; 10.56 hands on hip could be Lorne Wilkinson from Kirkbymoorside; 11.51 drover in the grey coat is Tosh (that's the only name I ever knew);
I worked for Cundalls April 1973 to October 1976 and helped at Sheep fair 73, 74,75 I think I missed the 76 fair. 7.41 Richard Clark Cundall’s farm manager with deer stalker hat and Keith Ward manager at Cundall’s Harwood Dale farm
