Welcome to School Yard Mews. If you are wondering where it is, you aren't the only one. There is not even a proper council-erected road sign at its entrance, just a small wooden one pinned to a fence, telling you it's a private road.
The location is opposite the chip shop in Grammar School Road, near the junction with Preston Drive.
New bungalows have been built along a cul-de-sac behind the Beech Villas terraced houses, and fronting onto the Vale of Ancholme Technology College field.
Private road or not, you'd think this tiny one merited a proper sign from North Lincolnshire Council - if only for the benefit of emergency services attending call-outs, and so delivery drivers know where they are going.
With Brigg being such a popular place to live, there's been a lot of housing development - some large, some small - with many more to come in the months and years ahead.
So perhaps it's time for an updated street map of Brigg to be produced.
Many townsfolk get stopped by delivery drivers seeking directions, but how many of us know the whereabouts of every street in Brigg, now new ones have been added?
Perhaps Brigg Town Council, or North Lincolnshire (as the highway authority) should take a leaf out of Broughton's book.
Visit our neighbouring town and there's a large, impressive noticeboard on the street near one of the pubs, containing a map of Broughton and showing all its roads.
Not everyone has 'sat nav'!
