For more than a century the auction mart was the focus of life in the
picturesque market town of Bellingham in Northumberland. Farmers and
shepherds came down from the hills to watch their sheep being sold in
the mart's two ancient sale rings. But times change, with new animal
health rules coming into effect the mart was forced to close in 2004. This
beautifully shot DVD from the same stable as The Last Horsemen and The
Last Shepherds captures the atmosphere at Bellingham on the day of the
final sale. Running time 45 mins
