Set against the backdrop of Great Knollys Street in Berkshire, England, this snapshot encapsulates an era when auctions were not just about commerce but also served as vibrant social gatherings. The atmosphere is palpable as farmers and buyers gather around to inspect these plump birds that would grace countless festive tables across the United Kingdom.
