STILL SERVING TOWN


Bryan Robins continues to serve Brigg, despite being a retired town councillor.
At last night's monthly meeting of the town council, held in the Angel Suite, Bryan was re-elected to represent the authority for a further term on the Sir John Nelthorpe School Foundation Trustees.
Bryan's public service goes back to the early 1960s, when he was a prominent member of the old Brigg Urban District Council, continuing, from 1974, on the town council.
A former Town Mayor, he is pictured here in July 1977, on Brigg Recreation Ground, being presented to Her Majesty the Queen. With him is his mother Mary, the Mayoress.
Older Brigg Blog readers will remember Bryan as the staff photographer on the Lincolnshire Times, based at 57 Wrawby Street. When that weekly closed in the mid-1980s, he switched to the Scunthorpe Telegraph.
