THE HIGH STREET MEETS THE MARKET PLACE...
From Plaque 1 there is a looped trail that takes you through ‘Feathers Yard’ eventually leading to Holt’s largest car park at Budgens supermarket.
It was here that the original site of the livestock market once stood, hence Holt being previously referred to as “A Market Town”. This busy pedestrian thoroughfare once echoed to the sight, sound and smell of animals being brought to market.
Today, retail developments can be found, firstly “Old Stable Yard” and then “The Market Place” where the conversion of existing buildings have been intermixed with sympathetically designed new properties.
The Holt Owl Trail will unveil a number of Yards that feature throughout the town as popular shopping destinations.
