They sold 100 head of cattle that day. Colonel Gorton went on to be a firm fixture at the saleyards - his firm Gorton & Son was one of four involved in regular weekly sales. The building in the photograph would have been where Gorton & Son conducted their business, as evidenced by the sign-writing on the front and the roof.

On September 26, 1907, Feilding was inundated with rain for three days straight, causing floodwaters to rise in town and in surrounding rural areas. At the Beattie Street crossing, the water was right across the surface of Kimbolton Road, the Railway Yards were covered in water, and the footpath from the Council Chambers to Manchester Square was immersed. The Makino Stream reached a level not touched in ten years prior to this flood. Property was damaged, and there were several slips that came down on the railway, disrupting train services and causing general frustration amongst travellers.

Tragically, Captain Russell was killed during one of these tours, when his Avro Avian plane stalled while descending onto the New Plymouth Racecourse in November 1920. Two passengers were also killed; Mayor James Clark, and chemist Kathleen Warnock.
