   There were no slaughter houses

   In these old days there were no slaughter houses as we know them. The beasts were killed on the kitchen floors near the doors. The blood flowed everywhere -

   *The Shambles New Ross.

   This is the 'Market' where meat is or rather 'was' sold. It is situated in Main Street. Long ago all the butchers sold their meat there in their little stalls. It used to be a lively spot, full of fun and banter = "And jokes went round and harmless chat." But one by one they decamped out of the Shambles and set up butchers' shops in the town. To-day only one vendor of meat plies his job in the Shambles while there are ten butchers' shops scattered through the town.
