ANGLING AFTER A SALE


One of Brigg's best-known speciality businesses is up for sale (freehold).
Fishing and angling supplies shop Country Lines - at the corner of Bridge Street and Kiln Lane - is on the market for £155,000.
It is described as fully stocked, racked and equipped with display cabinets and fridges.
The business is said to be well established, with a one-bedroomed flat above 'needing final finishing'.
Adams and Co is handling the sale. Tel 01302 849101.
Many pleasure and match anglers visit Brigg to fish our Old and New rivers, and older Brigg residents will remember when scores of fishing fanatics from Yorkshire's industrial towns and cities used to come to town to spend their week's holiday on the banks of the Ancholme, taking in the fresh air.
A popular place for 'The Yorkies' to stay was the hotel near to where Paris Watson's eatery now stands in Wrawby Street.
