PUT TO GOOD USE


Empringham Demolition - headed by Brigg-educated Derek Empringham - is busy working at the Cedars, on Bigby Road. Doubtless some of the bricks from the old outbuildings that are coming down will be recycled for future use.
In recent years, Derek's firm has demolished the Victorian former refectory building at Sir John Nelthorpe School and the last outbuildings of Woodbine Farm, off Wrawby Road, adjoining the Recreation Ground. Again, the bricks were re-purposed, to use the modern term.
The Cedars - the large detached property near the Monument - was originally a private resident but has enjoyed a number of different uses down the decades, including being a doctors' surgery and clinic. It is now being redeveloped yet again.
