GREAT RESEARCH MATERIAL

If you are an ex-pupil of Brigg Grammar, Brigg Girls' High or Sir John Nelthorpe schools you can take a free trip down memory lane though the archive material available on the Briggensians' Association website www.briggensians.net
Especially interesting to older 'old boys' will be the back issues of the Briggensian School Magazine, indexed 1914-1938, 1939-1963 and 1964-78.
As they have been scanned as Adobe PDFs there's a search facility available, allowing easy location of items of interest.
Relive those great days spent taking part in inter-school and inter-house sports and remember those societies (and masters!) of long ago. It's all there for us to enjoy.
You can also download The History of Brigg Grammar School by Dr Frank Henthorn (with Supplement) to 1969, scanned and converted to Adobe Reader format by Mike Spencer.
The file size is 12.4 MB - not too taxing with today's Broadband connections.
Also very readable are: Brigg Grammar School 1941-48 - A Memoir by John Rhodes (Adobe Reader - 163 kb); and BGS 1921-31 - A Memoir by the late David Riggall: web version Part One.
We will gloss over Sir John Nelthorpe's School in Brigg 1669-2003: A brief illustrated history by Nigel Fisher!
Briggensians' Newsletters for the past 12 years are also on the site.
Of the BGS Magazine, written by pupils and published from 1914-1978, the Briggensians' website rightly says: "It is a fascinating source of information about school life and life in general in past decades."
