text:
Robinson Mitchell was an English auctioneer who pioneered the auctioning system which is widely used today, as he realised taking bids from buyers was more efficient than the haggling between individuals which went on before. At Cockermouth in 1865, he set up what is believed to be the first purpose-built livestock auction market in the country. The business he founded moved their livestock operation out of town in 2002. Sainsbury's acquired the vacated site and paid for this statue, by sculptor
