BUILDING FOR FUTURE

Scaffolding's up round a number of houses on the Newlands estate, as North Lincolnshire Homes carries out improvements.
Welcome, but small scale compared with what went on in the latter days of Brigg Urban District Council, in 1973/4 when scores of homes in the town were modernised, with the introduction of indoor toilets and a bathroom, plus central heating.
Those of us who lived through it - in the middle of all the mess - will never forget. But it was worth it in the end.
Unless, of course, you are a fan of coal fires!
