Here's a flashback to August, 1964 with Brigg Town Football Queen, Sandra Shaw, arriving at the Hawthorns for the club's annual gala. With her is club committee member Coun Vic Gray.
Public-spirited Vic served on Brigg Urban District Council and Brigg Town Council for many, many years. He had a cafe in Market Place, and his family ran the shop in Glebe Road, opposite the school.
Does anyone know whether Sandra is still living in the Brigg area?
The football club gala was a good fundraiser for Harry Williams and his helpers.
This image came to light as a result of tests were are doing on a new, upgraded archive facility, shortly to be introduced for editorial staff on the Grimsby and Scunthorpe Telegraphs, among others.
Thousands of images have been scanned from yellowing bound copies by our Grimsby-based archivist, Linda Roberts, and given captions which are now searchable through the marvels of the modern computer age.
A simple search for the word 'Brigg' produced 362 matches just in this section of our vast archive - and the one featuring Vic was the first I spotted containing a familiar face.
We will feature some more in Brigg Blog, from time to time.
So keep watching!
