Cambridge Daily News 30 Sep 1949: Sheep killed in Shelford Road

Between 700 and 800 sheep were checked over by the Cambridge Pindar after a lorry had run into a flock on the Shelford Rd, Trumpington. Six of the animals were killed in the collision. The remainder were driven to the site of this year’s Cambridgeshire show where officials made certain none was injured. The flock was moved from one field to another early in the morning to avoid traffic.
