The Green in Edwardian times
At the start of the Victorian period, the area of Church Street that comprises The Green was probably better known as a venue for Wellington's cattle fairs, which had been held there since at least the Middle Ages. In fact, it was here that John Barber undertook his first sale of cattle in 1852, before establishing his Auction Mart on the Bury Yards, near to modern day Victoria Avenue.
