Can see the joke, but it was a cattle market not a slaughter house.

Mindst tha doan't get thi feet run ower kneelin'at that crossroads!Ya can't look four ways at once!Right Fevlad,Will try and explain my feeble attempt at an observationwhich had struck me, regarding the Jew's Park.IF there had been an abbattoir there, prior to the park being laidout, I would have thought that if pigs were slaughteredand their blood spilled on the ground (under the park), itwould have been abhorrent to the Jewish people using it, had they known,seeing as the pig is an unclean animal to them in their faith?Maybe I got it wrong and I apologise if any offence caused.
